This Saturday, March 21, is the big hatch date!
We are all excited to see how many few little chickies hatch this weekend. Out of our 16 Ameraucana hatching eggs, I believe 4 are infertile or just never started developing. That leaves 12 eggs to hatch--although, a few of them are questionable.
Since we've never incubated eggs before, nor have we candled eggs, it's all a little difficult to know exactly what we're looking for in a good developing egg. Add that to the fact that the blue Ameraucana egg shells are dark and hard to candle and we're just really not sure! I had hoped to be able to post a few pictures of the candled eggs with the developing embryo, but since they were so dark it was hard to see anything, much less photograph it. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens Saturday.
