Is the egg broken?

It's got poop on it

Congratulations on the 4th egg. Beauty, you can stop now. Please don't feel pressured to break Mariah's record!

I don't think so...hard incubation is well underway

 

Funny-I'm working & almost didn't notice there had been a switch  

Do We Have A Pip?

Look!  I think I see a pip in that second egg.

If I’m right, hatching can’t be far behind!



I find the difference in the colors of the eggs fascinating!

Although rebec7caring was closest time-wise, we had decided it was closest without going over. So that would be falconatic1-Debbie Z.

But, since we made the "rules" I'm making an executive decision...they both won!

Congratulations!

Well, half of us missed it.   

Looking like maybe she is done?

Not by a long shot. We have until 2:07 tomorrow morning for the outside window. We're only at 55 hours now. And the pattern seems to be a bit longer between later eggs.

If it's not too late, I'd like to guess 3:28 pm on Tuesday, April 23 for the ultimate egg.

Since it was posted in time, you're in Margaret! Good luck everyone!

Honey...look what I brought you!



SCORE!!!

After going back and seeing how seldom the eggs were left uncovered since #3 was laid, I'm beginning to think 3 eggs may be it for this year.  It seems like incubation has started.

Just a reminder...hard incubation begins as the next to last egg is laid

I was going to say that too-the penultimate egg.

Of course they are free to make a liar out of me...
