I candled my two eggs on Sunday night, after about 9 days of sitting. Saw pretty strong vessels, air sac at the end, hard to see an embryo, but I didn't want to look too long, so I gave them back, figuring I had not seen anything indicating they had not developed or quit.
Last night, after looking at more pictures on the internet, I wanted to get a better look, so I stole her eggs after dark, and gave them a more thorough inspection. And you know what I saw? Movement! So exciting! Both of them were wiggling, it was so cute!
They are due to hatch out Thursday or Friday of next week. Hopefully they will both make it, though my luck they will both be roosters!

So, should we expect you to begin planning for the distribution of little cigars? -

Re: Getting excited!
Wed, June 3, 2009 - 1:24 PMIts hard to tell if baby chicks ar hens or roosters. Traits do not start to develop for a while. My suggestion is to slip into some lingere and see wether they follow you around or ignore you as you prance about your mountain. -
