well, tonight will be the end of day 10.....so I had to go try and candle these eggs and see whats up. Most are pretty dark brown and dont let a lot of light through...but I could tell that all but two had a "dark mass" in them. Im hoping this is a good sign. The other two were a uniform brightness. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I put 51 total under broodies Thursday.

Sunday night I broke 1. Flashlight it and no veins. Flashlight the other 50, only found 6 others with no veins. So I say pretty good! Even saw tiny lil hearts beating in most.

Marans eggs gotta be tough to candle even with the best light...or maybe it's a matter of practice/experience.
Not as much fun hatching if you can't candle and see what's going on.

I think I have some EE and Welsummer eggs to add to my hatch plans....not sure tho.

lol....Im no expert. I got lucky and found a little LED flashlight that is pretty bright...http://www.meijer.com/s/rayovac-virtually-indestructible-sport-led-flashlight/_/R-240104. I'll probably check them again just before lockdown and hope for the best.
