Well, I couldn't resist candling my Day 4 eggs any longer and took a quick peek this morning...
They're tough eggs to candle. They're varying shades of light brown, small, and very thick - I was surprised, because these shells must be thicker than my duck eggs, and they're much harder to candle than the last batch of Bantam Cochin eggs I received!
That being said, of the 11 eggs, I'm pretty sure I have 2 clears - the rest have done something, but it's too early to tell what.
They're being auto-turned, humidity's stable at 45%, and the temperature is rock-solid at 99.5 (I trust my Brinsea Octagon 20 completely, I hardly ever glance at the temp. anymore).
17 days to go!
