Watery looking inside of eggs

Good you are giving them a chance. I have had some look like that too that have hatched. Sometimes you just never know.

I've had loosen air cells hatch but never a ruptured one.
But I always give them a chance.

I'm sure there is a trick to it I'm also just as sure I have no idea what it is.

I am sure Murphy's Law will play in this somehow.

As for the denial to show our kids some hands-on learning, you tell me why they would say no? I swear, our schools have gotten so afraid of anything ever going wrong, or someone getting sick or someone's feelings being hurt or anyone being offended by anything what so ever....It is really p---ing me off. The teacher of the class has done this in the past just not recently. When I went to K-2nd grade in a Catholic school in Western New York, we wore skirts only and we had to go out to play after lunch, on the parking lot (they called playground) unless it was pouring rain or we were having a blizzard. We HAD to eat ALL our lunch, which was real unprocessed foods that were healthy meals. Now, you can't make the kids do anything like that or you have the parents breathing down your neck, so maybe that is the fear, a parent suing the school for their kid actually touching a chicken egg that was not store bought? I don't get it. They just want the kids to read everything from a book and not be able to see it first hand so that it sticks in their brains. I am certain that almost every kid in the class, if they were given the chance to set the eggs, candle them with me and watch them hatch would remember that whole process for the rest of their sane lives. Am I wrong? It just fires me right up. I am also forbidden to take anything baked at home to school too. I am a really good baker, but I am not allowed to take a batch of cookies or a cake or anything in to school, even though I have used all fresh ingredients with no preservatives or additives or colorings, I can only take store bought crap that IS full of those things.
Like I said, fire me up.

Back to the eggs, I will set them and see. Who knows, maybe I will end up with more than I thought I would (don't tell my hubby

) My bator can hold 41 eggs, I have 45 now to set, so I need to figure out something. I do have two of those little dome bators that are made of plastic, use a little light bulb and a piece of screen and foil, I might put some in there just to see what happens. It might be fun to make the kids turn them by hand (I have an auto turner on the Hova Bator)

Besides if they start growing, I am bound to have some duds out of this batch, so I may end up with room to spare after a few days.
I am trying to not become addicted to this hatching thing. I will leave that you folks like MagsC and that crazy bunch.
