This looks like the eclipse to me.

I candle the first week to remove any clears just to make room in the incubators. They have stayed packed and bad eggs take up good real estate. Lol

I do not lack incubator space, lol
Too much real estate and too many eggs will get Moony into trouble.

The wyandotte eggs were my reason for incubation, the Barnevelders were just a 'just because" but I'm not disappointed either way, it's still early.

Hopefully you see more with development over the next few days!

I'm hatching for myself and also hatching my friends turkey eggs every week so my incubators have been packed. Lol. Not all for me.

Candled and pulled clears tonight, I think I have 10 Barnevelder eggs and 2 wyandotte eggs progressing. Pulled only two blood rings. Almost all the wyandotte eggs were clear, I'm going to open them tomorrow and check for fertility.

I'm sorry you only have 2 wyandottes. Maybe see if the seller can send more if you cover shipping?

I ordered 12 more eggs from the seller that I got the painted eggs from. They will be here next week. So far 12/14 are developing from the first set. I just want to make sure I end up with a good number of painted since they don't breed true.

Here's a question for y'all: I currently have both Muscovy eggs and chicken eggs hatching. Both these sets were originally hand turned in the MeeF, but transferred to the Maticoopx for several days before lockdown, using the horizontal turners in it. Half the eggs pipped at the wrong end. Could this have anything to do with it?

Usually pipping at the end happens in shipped eggs where the egg gets shaken up and damaged but can also happen if you accidentally set eggs in a turning rack with the air cell down. Are they shipped eggs?

The Muscovy eggs are from my own birds, but the Chantecler eggs were bought at an in-person auction (local eggs) and I had to drive them home. Very poor results from those eggs, only 5 had any development, and only 3 made it to lock down.
