It depends on the air inside... if the inside is drying out it will float even if its a yolk.
I don't use the float as a for sure thing but it allows me to pull all the bobbers and sinkers and watch for movement.
The movers are the ones I really want to find. If they are late and don't move then its a done egg.

if you float when you get the eggs the fresh will sink and the old will float.

Llooks like 20 hatched and are all healthy running around. Floated a few. 1 died midterm and 1 died trying to pip...I think I may have opened the bator too many times

. Then 4 were infertile. The 12 left are possibly viable so I'm leaving them in till tonight. If nobody's bobbing then I'll crack them open and give you the verdict on how your guys did

Ok

OK, so I should pull late eggs out of the hatch box and plop them in the water and if they bob up and down I candle it?
I have 2 that should have hatched on sunday, but it is still intact. The next batch is due to go in tonight. Should I leave the 2 in there? Should I toss them? What do I not want to see if I candle? No movement = dead duck?

Lots of babies hatched today. I should have quite a few "bummer" chicks from my projects. They will be vaccinated for mareks and will be $3.00 each. They will be mostly black and some buff colored ones that aren't quite right.

Please let me know if you would like to purchase some eggs from my sebbie show pen. I will only offer a couple of these eggs as I got such wonderful results last year out of this pen. This is out of MAMA, who is pictured on my website, she has won reserve of Show and Best Goose many times and her daughter being bred by a big round headed male.

I also have a pen with an Overton male over my best girl hatched last year. These eggs will be $20.00 each.

If anyone wants to work on the silver variety, please let me know as I will bring some of the project chicks for the same price listed above.

I was mucking out my chicken run. It is now sitting in a pile in the pen until I can get the tractor to it....the muck underneath is frozen soilid, but if it gets up to 50 again today, I am hoping that it will thaw. The chickens were playing king of the hill on the pile.

I can sympathize with your mud. It is awful.

I am hoping that by April it will be thawed out enough for me to get a few loads of sand...I need probably 7,000lbs this time. Too bad I'm pregnant though...probably can't be of much help. I am sure that my DH will need a few beers or something! LOL
