If these waterers aren't fairly level they leak -- that's pretty obvious. We don't have a lot of flat level spots in our chicken areas, so decided to hang our waterers and let gravity level them...

I haven't candle them yet. Today is only day 3. I will probably will take a peak tonight. Don't know if I will be able to see anything as those eggs are kind of dark. I will let you know. How are yours doing?

Just candle my eggs. None of them seem to be fertile (except for maybe one mystery barnyard egg). Those were shipped eggs I bought from someone here at BYC. So disappointed. I guess I will give them a few more days...but not very hopeful. ow are yours doing??

Mind if I join in? I set 8 welsummer eggs I got off of Ebay on the 15th. I'm doing a staggered hatch with other eggs I put in on the 8th. I wanted to mention that I havn't even touched my welsummer eggs to candle. It's way to early especially with dark eggs. I can't see veining in the dark eggs so I usually wait at least a week and look to see if its getting darker in there as well as a good air cell. I would say to be patient with yours as well. Good things come to those that wait!

Chickens make me happy!
