Hopefully that bodes well then. Honestly, I was a nightmare with my single egg. I was impatient, anxious, you name it, so I empathise. x

Bev I think the marks are just thin shell I could be wrong but I have had some the same and they hatched fine.
so far they are looking ok but still early days as you say they look different they don't have that pinky orange colour when you candle them next put the torch flat at the back of the egg and shine it through the egg not down on it.

Hey Gordo, thankyou, I was hoping someone would throw some light on the white lines in egg no.3 I was concerned it had cracked.

Egg no.1 now has a dark spot but at one end of the egg, and in egg no.3 the dark centre of that pinky blob has got bigger, but I'm not sure if this anything good or bad, but when I don't shine a torch on that bit it is a white patch x

Close the lid and walk away for a few days and do some knitting or something to keep your mind off them.
And let's have a look in a week.

He does have a way with words lol but he's very helpful, always there if we need him, which I might in about a weeks time, I will be pacing the hall, as I've got a baby due to hatch, nail biting times 😕😨

No this is a Marginated, I incubated 3 and only one developed, I'm not keeping it, a friend of mine wants one, so it's going to a good home. But I'm so excited about watching it hatch, it's such a privalige and I feel like I'm doing a wonderful thing lol 😊
