DAY 14, and i cant see anything.... is this normal??

[audreymarie]

Hi y’all!! My first time hatching eggs here and I’m on day 14, up until now I’ve been able to see movement and all the different parts of the chick, and now today on day 14 i cannot see a thing. It’s like i dont even have a light on them. I can see the air sac but the rest of the egg is completely dark. Did something happen or am i just a newbie?

What color are the eggshells? The non-white ones can be really hard to see through sometimes.

Blue and Dark brown!!!

If they are brown I wouldnt worry. You can get a flashlight with more lumens. Auto part stores sell great ones that work wonderfully.

Blue and Dark brown!!!

In that case I'm guessing you're alright

You need more powerful light to see through those eggs but to me they look perfectly fine and developing as they should

Ekkk I’m so excited! Both eggs have made it to lockdown which i just started today! This is the little brooder i made for them out of an old little night stand! The heat lamp is built in where the drawer was and has a cut out on the back so it doesn’t over heat!! Let’s hope and pray both the chicks make it to see all the work i just put into that i even hooked up one of my baby monitors that alerts me when there is movement or sound so i dont miss any action (for now it’s just positioned on the hygrometer so i can make sure that is staying consistent without having to walk down to the basement! But hatch day i will move it to see the eggs!!
