I doubt they would be truly inedible after seven days and if there were a genuine famine, I would not hesitate to at the least cook them well and feed back to my chickens or any other appropriate animal in my care. That said, we have not (yet) come to that pass. In present circumstances I recommend adding them to the compost--uncooked is fine. Just do make sure they are broken so that nasties cannot grow inside.

There is actually an article somewhere that I read explaining that it should be ok to eat infertile eggs after up to 10 days of incubation. I don't have the link though, I could look for it. I don't think I could get that hungry, lol, I've lived a very fortunate life though, who knows!

Yesterday, I set some of my Serama eggs. This is my first hatch-along so I’m pretty excited.

Congratulations, and welcome!

Have you tried a high lumen flashlight?

I can look through dark brown eggs with mine.

I can see through the lighter of the green eggs, but not so much the darker ones. Even if I candled them to get an idea on Day 0 I could see perfectly well through the lighter ones, but as they got darker I could see less and less. So we shall see.

We moved eggs around to be ready for lockdown this upcoming Thursday. While we were candling I discovered that one of my muscovy had quit.... poor thing. I think that leaves me with 8 still growing

Friend found an impressive number of light Sussex eggs sitting behind their garbage can. Setting them in the incubator.View attachment 2058889

Those eggs look so pink! Do you have a better picture of them? I'm always hoping I get a hen, any breed, who lays pink eggs. So far not yet.

Unfortunately, all my flocks eggs are still infertile I’m quite disappointed he still hasn’t fertilised any yet.

So sorry! Hopefully you'll get some fertilized eggs soon!
