looks for a black spot/dot (that is the chick developing)  also should be able to see veining. However in brown eggs it is harder to see.   I saw 3 had the black spot. My eggs are brown so it is hard.

Temp holding steady at 100 and humidity between 35 and 40 %.  Did fire up an old LG still air at 3 pm today and still waiting on temps to stop fluctuating. I have 2 aquarium thermos in the bottom of it reading 97 but the thermo on the top says 101. Going to leave it alone until morning and see what it says then. Have 45 barnyard mix eggs to put in it if it acts right. Anyone else candle ?  Hope everyone is still progressing. Come on chickies !!!!!

I put them in Sunday 3/18 @ 3:00pm. Like I said I only candled about 6-7 of them and 1-2 had veins. 3-4 had nothing and 2-3 just had real dark spots on on half the egg? Like the small end that was pointing down is this just where the yolk settled by the egg always pointing down? Please help! thanks

Ok, the 1-2 with veins are good!    The 2-3 with dark spots are good!  still early so the 3-4 with nothing, give a few more days.    I have my eggs on their side. Are yours in a carton in the incubator?  How do you have them?

For all you chicken folks, I am having a problem with my new 1588 Genesis hovabator . My ambient house humidity is 43. If I put any water in my incubator, tray 1( outside trough) it raises the humidity to 57. should I just leave the tray empty and see what happens? Did I already do damage with the high humidity. My incubator reads significantely lower, about 39 right now, temp 100 with my indoor hygrometer/thermometer reads 57 humidity 99/100 temperature.What should I do? Anything at all? Let the water dry up, it should soon?

I would remove a plug. I have the new hovabator too, it has been quite a challenge.
