    eggs candled at day 17 look like development of day 10 or 11

    New to incubation..... When I candled the eggs on day 17 to cull, I noticed that one looked like it was not as progressed as the others. I took it out to do an eggtopy and it was still alive and breathing....but size was much smaller than the others in their egg. In other batchs, some eggs are...

    puzzling my mind.... 1 - should the egg internal pip before putting in the hatcher no matter the day ? or 2 - put in hatcher on right day even if not internal pip? reason for asking....some put eggs in bator no matter the pip status....others wait. Whats the advantage of either? my...
