DAY 16-17 CANDLING….. OK….here is my update on the last Candling results. The size of the air cells on the remaining 14 eggs I have in my J24 incubator vary in size. I have several that seem like the perfect position and size, while in a few others I see some air cells that seem not large...

Ok…Day 14 Candling…Im going to research to see what the eggs should look like at this stage.

Thanks for asking KHoward….I had my dates off a little - today is actually Day 10... Just did my 10 Day Candling….Out of the 18 eggs still in the incubator, 15 are viable and 3 seem to be non-fertile. (10 Buff Orpington and 8 High Noon x Leiper). I did notice in some that the air cells seem...

Best of luck bantam

Bantam. My sentiments exactly. Easier said than done. Lol I just want to make sure I do this as best as possible.

FIRST TIME using the J24 - The temperature keeps fluctuating in it. I have a seperate thermometer in it that reads different from the one that is built in. I have it taped to one of the inside see-through sides so as to not interfere with the automatic turner. At first I reached ideal...
