I put the chicken eggs in 1 week after the ducks so there due the same day. My Brinsea instructions reccomend the Temp for ducks & chickens but the humidity is a bit higher so im hoping there going to be ok? Only put them in to check if there were fertile then i thought what the heck ill leave them in there.hide.gif My Husband said the other day when i was candling them, them 3 duck eggs look really small! lau.gif

Well I candled tonight and only 2 duck eggs have movement and good blood viens, the rest are either clear or the air cell is all over. I guess thats what happens when eggs are shipped from half way across the U.S.  I also candled the guinea eggs and 2 have embryos, 1 is iffy it looks like it may have a dark spot but the spot look to big, and 10 are bright and clear. Talk about a waist of $23 for those eggs. I really really hope at least 2 hatch of the guineas I dont think I want to hatch guinea eggs again, they are so small and hard to keep in place.

 

So question, if the eggs are bright and clear does that mean I was sold unfertile eggs ?

 

ETA: added pics

Hi hun what day are you on? Does the 10 eggs have any veins at all? If there all clear and not fertile you could always contact the lady and sometimes they send you complamentry eggs. My mother in law had 24 silkie eggs ages ago and only 2 hatched and the lady sent 6 more..

If they were local eggs then clear would most likely mean not fertile, but if they were shipped then they could have not started to develop due to rough handling, temperatures or a hundred other reasons, including fertility. I agree to contact the seller but personally I wouldn't start shouting about fertility right off the bat.
