Well this will probably be like the 5th or 6th locked thread on the same dead horse of a subject.
ps, I have access to all the eggs all y'all could ever want. hahaha
They look clear to me.
You know, when you go back and edit your entire original post, it makes me look like a retard because my answer is totally not applicable anymore.
I've never candled sideways like that. I always shine the light through the air cell, from the top, and it's pretty easy to see veining just below the air cell.
You're probably right about the clears. By Day 12, it should be pretty much unmistakable.

Really? I don't...because first off, the ban is not going to fly. Second, 99.99% of Muscovy owners out there are never even going to hear about it. The fear-mongering here on BYC is a h00t, though.

Thanks! I'm gonna have to bring them all back in and compare peeps to pictures again...and have some zip ties on hand.
The Cuckoos are not pure, although some do look spot-on, so no matter on the genders, they're audi.

If they have a single comb, they're *pretty much* not Olive Eggers. They're just useless mutts...culls.
Same goes for the Cuckoos, they're outta here like last year.

Awesome! Thank you!
Wow, such a huge difference in the comb/wattles and overall size of the one I thought was a cockerel. Now I hope to get a Wheaten cockerel out of the next hatch...Sunday!

Do you have a source for that? I would like to read about it.

And this is the quote from that thread, post #18:

Why am I not surprised that so many BYCers refute science?
I think the latest news from the world of actual science is that yogurt is not good for chickens and the pro-biotics contained therein are not even applicable to chickens' guts.
I should have sorted these eggs before the hatch, but I didn't. At least two of them should be BC Marans...maybe four. The other 7 or 9 are just horribly-bred Olive Eggers, only one of which is a keeper and only if it's a pullet.
1. Looks like a Cuckoo Marans, so it must be an Olive...
K I'm pretty sure I got these two straight. But, I'm only going off the size and comb/wattles of the assumed cockerel. I can't see squat in the color differences here...
