So I was fed up with the anticipation today. For the past 6 days all I have been seeing are orange eggs with dark spots (the yolk) and hardly an air sac. It has been killing me - There is no veining, no nothing. Soooo I finally got a better, brighter flashlight, and. . .
I'm seeing baby fetuses!!! Goldenrod's first egg is a definite confirmed baby, I can see a little tiny fetus, complete with an eye and a curled up body, and veins that spiderweb out to the rest of a large portion of darkness in the egg. Goldenrod's 2nd egg looks promising, but not fetus. Same with both of Yellow's two eggs. I'll wait a couple days for those. It is also confirmed, though, that Raven's egg is too porous and Tufted's egg is NOT fertile. I figured though, but wanted to try anyway.
Here's a checklist of the eggs, by the way yes I did say "My babies!!" When I first saw the fetus. Oh how I wish I could post photos.
Goldenrod 1 - Confirmed 2 - Possible
Yellow 1 - Possible 2 - Possible
Red 1 - Quite porous looking 2 - Quite porous looking
Cloud Blue - Probably not fertile, but I will check later
Chatta 1 - Probable, will check later 2 - Probable, will check later
Surprise 1 - Not sure, but it has what looks like a crack in the shell 2 - Not sure, will check later
Raven - Too porous and probably is a goner
Moha 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are Probable, will check later. Some are pretty porous, like 1 and 3
Marc Antony, our EE Rooster, was once again let loose to spend time with the girls again. It is the weekend, and weekends are his time. He, again, is mating with Mila, which is a good thing, but sadly I cannot incubate her newly fertilized eggs. . . The incubator is in use. Next time, Mila - Next time.
