QJ, those Sebbies are from the same guy you asked about before. He runs the mixed flock. Here is his other listing with the old photo in it.

Good morning, hatching friends. Today is day 23 and changes are a-happenin' at my place. All the eggs' air cells have gotten dramatically bigger and are dipping. About half of them have shadows (where I can see a lot of movement) which are getting larger in the aircell (mostly from the back side). And, I think I saw a beak in one aircell. It looks just like the drawings in Pete's guide... so those should start internally pipping today.

So they might not be pure? I'd be mad if I bought sebbie eggs and hatched mutts.
QJ- He's also the guy I ordered my tufted goose eggs from. Not a single one developed at all. Could be me, could be shipping, but be cautious.

Yay! It'll be easy to tell once the pip and move in the air cell. Like I said, the egg turns dark, and if you shine your flashlight through the incubator window you can see them in there, without even candling. Makes it easier to not open the incubator, lol. Plus, they'll start talking to their momma soon, be ready to talk back. It convinces them to hurry it up a little.

Do you think it will be obvious in the next 12-24 hours?

Do you mean the outside of the shell turns dark?? The two most advanced eggs are dark brown to begin with.

Thanks Celtic and Julie! That is good to know. The woman that listed last night is the same woman I got my Lavender Orps from. I was 0 for 6 on those, but I'm blaming my incubator fiasco for that slightly. I did have 2 quitters and 2 veins and then 2 weren't fertile.

I guess some other people found them last night.

It looks like the dark part where the chick is takes over the whole shell, kwim? Like where you candle and it's dark from the chick? That dark part seems to take over and the whole egg turns darker like that. Mine were white/light green eggs though, so I don't know if it'll happen with other color eggs.
