These aren't the best pictures in the world, but its kind of hard to candle the eggs, check them, and be the photographer all at the same time, but you can kind of see the veins. I was trying to get a picture of the little chick heart in the one bouncing around, doing its own thing, but every time my camera clicked, since I don't have the latest technology, by the time the pic took, it had disappeared back down. These guys and girls are due to hatch out on the 21st of this month. They are a White Leghorn/Rhode Island Red cross. Supposedly we will get sex links out of this mix. 50% of the people say yes, and the other 50% say no...so we decided to try it ourselves...we set 20 eggs, and I have already culled 2. They just weren't developing at all. But that's why we set 20. We tend to have pretty good hatch rates. But all of our hatches have been over the winter, so its a different season, with different temps, so maybe it will be good, and maybe it wont.
Keep your fingers crossed for us though, we are really wanting the red sex links.
