Default Bellas eggs



Here is a picture of the eggs Bella laid. How do they look? I'm hoping they are fertile and I will keep this thread updated as I go along. We have put them in the incubator tonight after wishing them good luck.

They are only a couple of days old now she laid them on Monday night into Tuesday morning. I'm going to leave them in the incubator for a week or two before I candle them ;0)

Cheryl you can candle them now and you will see if the yolk has sunk, and by about 10-14 days you will see the little pink embryo, it's like a tiny jelly bean.

I know I'm hoping they hatch when the kids are on there Christmas holidays. I've told them they might not hatch at all but they are still excited. Chloe is 8 and has wanted to help so we are going to check the temperatures and things together each day and she's in charge of writing it down. She's really proud to be doing that job bless her.
