I just candled the zebra finch eggs that a M/M pair of my societies are fostering, and two of the eggs are viable! :-D I got to see something I'd never seen before: one of the chicks actually moving around inside the egg. That was TOO COOL! :-) The two viable eggs belong to Bambi & Bagel (marked "BB") and to Whisper & Creamsicle (marked with a dot). One of the eggs has a tiny indention in it. It's not a hole per se', but I'm a little concerned about it.
I probably won't candle them again since the primary foster dad (the one who's been doing the most incubating) got a little annoyed with me. That's a good sign, though, that he's more likely to take excellent care of the chicks. :-)
If everything goes well, a couple of little zebra chicks should be hatching in about a week! :-D
