Egg development


I just candled the eggs which have been in the incubator for four days now and I can clearly see development in the lighter colored eggs.  I can't see much of anything in the darker brown eggs.  I've read that it will be around day eight when we can see wether or not they're developing. 

Our friend who loaned us the incubator says that if 70% of the eggs hatch, that's considered a 100% success rate.  I'll be super excited if half of them hatch.  That would be a dozen chicks.  We need one more rooster and the rest we'll take in pullets please.  Thank you.
