FEBRUARY Hatch-A-Long, come join in!!

Date sort Score sort
4pm marked Day 4.66 : I just candled my 36 egg incubator clutch and happy to report that only 1 egg had the dreaded bacterial ring, and there was only 1 egg that I could not tell if it was viable. Looks like Sour(BLRW) is doing a great job in fertilizing eggs!! Going to keep the "?" egg in there and if I don't see any darkening by day 14, it will be culled.
I find it aboslutely amazing that the 12 EE eggs(they will be half breeds), that were in my basement for 2 weeks, are ALL coming along just as they should be!

Hi,
What was the temperature in the basement?

I will have to verify, I will post back once I know for sure... but I think it is somewhere around 45-55 degrees...
edited to add: my basement is 54 degrees F

Its day 12 but those 5 eggs looked clear when I candled them before and they still have no development so I took them out. There are a few more that are a little iffy because the shell is so dark and my flashlight sucks so I'm leaving those in just in case.
 
Well well well, it looks like I've got just a week left!!!!

Sending good vibes to everyone else too.

I'll post some photos later on of what an infertile and what a fertile Marans egg looks like to help you guys out with candling.

My eggs are super dark too, but my flashlight is pretty powerful, so I should be able to photograph something that's just as good as what the average person sees with their own eggs/flashlight.
