Thanks Moony!

I also got a list of possible breeds! RIR, ISA Browns, Easter Egger, Marans, Wyandotte, Australorp, Orpington, Sussex, Plymouth Rock, Silkies, and Brahma (and "ameraucana" which are possibly a misremembering of americauna/americana)

Ooh, some nice breeds!

The eggs have landed!View attachment 4030364
They're a little more dirty than I'd like, and at least 2 of them look like they've been in contact with broken eggs. But for less than the price of grocery store eggs I guess I can't complain too much.

I've wiped as much of the dirt off as I can with a dry paper towel. But I wasn't sure if I should try to clean the dried egg stuff with a dampened towel or just leave it.

Also, what would be the best to mark the eggs? I've used pencil in the past but wasn't sure if I could use something darker, like dry erase o permanent marker.

Is the left row 4th egg down a silkie egg? I saw that in your list if possibilities!

Thank you for the tag, Tink! I'll take #4, please, and call her Cherry.

I don't think so, it's definitely brown, but who knows? It looks a lot like my RIR's early pullet eggs.

Can I have 2 and name it Apollo?

Candled the eggs this morning. They're a little more porous than I'd prefer. And #9 was clearly cracked, so that one won't be going in the incubator. @HonkABC is it alright if I change Sungold to egg #10 instead?

Eggs going into incubator this morning! I weighed them this morning so we can track moisture loss and make any necessary adjustments to humidity. @The Moonshiner Moonglow is the biggest egg in the clutch by far at 83.7g! @GodLovesU , Arielle is the smallest at 47.2g.

Let's goooo! The larger eggs are so big I wasn't entirely sure they'd fit in the turner!
