Corvidae, Sorry that none of your wellsummers made it, and that you had to toss 30 eggs. That bites.
UtahChickenMom, glad to see you back. Sorry to hear that you've been through so much. Congrats on beating cancer and the new boobs you'll be getting out of the deal.
Aravis, congrats on the first egg. I have to admit I did blow out my first few eggs and kept them for months.
Acemario, I love that spreadsheet. My inner geek is jumping up and down. I think I need to do that.
Red, your flashlight makes allllll the difference in candling. At day 5, you should be able to see veining, but if your light isn't good enough, you won't see much. My friend is incubating some of my eggs, and I was teaching her to candle. I was using her flashlight, and couldn't see much. So, I brought out my light, and it was night and day. heh.
Blujems, hate to say it, but those FBCM all look like roosters. Such cute baby goats! With all of these funny sounding goat videos going viral, I really want a goat. But only if it's "broken" and sounds like those. Is it common for them to make sounds beyond the "normal" goat sounds?
UrbanChickensUT, I've noticed that some of my chickens are just messier than others. When it really drives me crazy, I take it in and clean it off.
