More Eggs

Today Gwyn laid two more eggs! I found them and put them in the incubator shortly after she laid them. They look very healthy and are both fertile. Of her last two eggs one has survived and it is looking healthy now as well. The embryo is developing inside and it now looks all pink with veins with I candle it. Here are some pictures of the eggs with a small pen light held up to them that I use to candle them.




This is a picture of the first egg Gwyn laid. You can see red veins and the dark spot is the baby.






This is one of the two eggs that Gwyn laid today. The pink circle is the embryo. This is how I know that the egg is fertile. This is how the egg shown about looked two weeks ago.


The eggs are all in the Hova Bator Incubator at about 88 degrees F. I am expecting the first one to hatch around May 17th at the earliest. It can take from 45-65 days for the eggs to hatch.
