Day 15 - Candling Success!

So today we candled the eggs for a second time...and we had success!  Well, success for the most part.  There were three eggs that we saw little or no development and we actually decided to crack them open (A3 / J14 / and J18).  If left in with the others, there is the possibility that they might explode in the incubator which is no fun.  Two of them looked just like the eggs you'd have for breakfast which means they were probably not fertile.  The third one showed signs of development, but it had obviously stopped at least a week ago. 

The ones I had listed as good last time are all still good and a few earned themselves names!  J9 is our Jeannie, J23 is our Jaymi and A5 is our Diane.  Jaymi and Diane definitely had movement going on in their eggs.  Now if only they will hatch!  Today is day 15.  They are due to hatch on day 22, after having been incubated for 21 days.  We are expecting the babies to arrive around 11:30 on April 5th. 

In the video above, right in the center of the video, you can see a pulsing vein!  You can hear all of us chatting about it too...

Just one more week!
