Not too much yet, maybe some veining. Most wait till Day Six or Seven. Just dont toss any out unless they smell bad right now.Here is a link for you with lots of great pics you can click on:

It can take up to 24 hrs for one to hatch, so don't get nervous yet!

As for the others, it's too early to tell. One pipping a bit earlier than the others doesn't mean they are goners, though.

Did the little hatch yet? How's everything going?!
