In the Brooder
Day 7 and I decided to candle my Coturnix Quail eggs. I think 4/18 are empty (not fertile) Here are the pics of those I think I'm gonna toss:
There are also 3/18 that I think have blood rings or haulted development. But I'm not sure, so here are 2 pics of those, wanted to hurry and disturb eggs the least:
Are these the infamous blood rings I always hear about? Should I toss them? I self turn 5 times a day also and always wash my hands before and after but I have heard this can also be caused by bacteria on the egg or over handling. Oh how I've tried so hard to only candle when necessary so I hope I haven't affected them any. I think I might be doing okay though, since I still believe I have 11 well developing eggs. And since I ordered the eggs online from halfway across the country I guess thats pretty good. I ordered 12 and received 18 too. So only having 11 good at this point is not bad at all. I will post a picture in a bit of one of the ones I believe to be well (next time I turn, they've had enough for now lol). Till then I could reaaly use some help with the ones I might toss.
