Candled and peeked and the veins look more red than brown to me. The one baby in the first egg I cut yesterday is sticking it's head all the way out of the egg and just hangs out that way, but hasn't tried to come out of the egg at all. When it sees me or I shine the flashlight its way it darts back into the egg, so at least I know that one has good reflexes. Hatched baby is doing well, still waiting for his kin to emerge.......in 30 minutes it will be 65 days and counting...
