No more candling. I promise.

Today is day 18, which means I took them out of the egg turner, increased the humidity, and am anxiously awaiting the end of this home stretch.

And I had to candle ONE LAST TIME. I did about four eggs, and started to put the last one back. And then I noticed some lint on one of them.

Only it wasn’t lint.

It was a feather.

A little plumey feather sticking out of the shell.

So one has pipped.
