Last clutch for the year for me (c'mon pieds!)

Okay, got some candling shots from Days 43 and 49. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high but I think a couple of the eggs have very pied-like characteristics. I'd love to hatch out a piebald (or two) but I'll be content if they're all healthy.



Day 43

^ The egg with the small window. I'll call this one Egg A.

^ Still hard to make anything out in Egg B.

^ Considering it's so shadowy, I'm inclined to say Egg C is unlikely to be a pied but I guess time will tell.

^ Egg D. It's hard not to get one's hopes up when comparing a really dark shadowy egg to a bright pink egg but, again, time will tell...






And Day 49

I think I've got the right letters assigned to these photos but I could very easily be mistaken... Nonetheless here are a few more photos I got last night.

Good luck. I hope you get a bunch of lil pied girls

Still waiting on these guys but candled two of them after opening the tub to check in.. Couldn't really get pics of any others because mom had no interest in budging. Can't say I blame her. ;) Any guesses as to what we're seeing in the wrinkled egg (pics 2 and 3)? I think it may be a long black stripe on a tail but your guesses are as good as mine. I wish they would hurry up and pip already. :P

We're up to day 60 now. My daughter's 7th birthday is tomorrow. It would be lovely if these hatched then. Fingers crossed! :D

Finally!! Day 69. So far I've only seen one head peeking out.
