Hi everyone! It's my first time hatching eggs, and in a home made styro incubator. I ordered 6 silver laced wyandotte eggs and 12 olive egger eggs off eBay. (I know, I know
) The eggs arrived today, well packed and in good shape except one that had a long crack down its side. I threw it out after taking a look inside, luckily the seller included an extra for each breed.
I attempted to candle some, but I can't see any visible air cells. They all look the same air cell wise, that is, completely non visible. I even candled a grocery store egg for comparison, and I could see it there no problem. I realize green eggs are harder to candle but the wyandottes look about the same as the store eggs.
I am using my iPhone flashlight for lack of anything better, though I plan to order something stronger in the next couple days.

Wyandottes:
Can anyone tell me what the situation is in there and if there's anything I can do, short getting a stronger flashlight, to get better results? Thanks in advance!
