    Yea, I'm not seeing anything either. Also shine from the fat end, down into the air cell. Still don't expect you will see anything in that particular egg, but candling from the non-air-cell end can be deceiving.

    None?? Maybe your light isn't bright enough. Day 16 you should see quite a bit of dark blob and lots of veins. Can you see thru the egg, like just a yellow/orange glow or do you see nothing?

    Your avatar pic about made me spit my coffee :lau Roosters should be able to manage 6-10 even 15 or more hens comfortably. But when they have too many, they play favorites -- whichever hens are "easier" ;) It is also possible that one rooster isn't as fertile as the others, or some...

    That's good and bad news. What's your hen to rooster ratio? Are the layers new/young? Are their butts too fluffy? (lol, some people do trim butt feathers for better fertility) Oh, I would also suggest taking a good sniff of any egg being opened after incubation. Opening a stinking dead one can...

    oh wow! do you open the unhatched eggs afterward? Maybe they aren't even viable to begin with, could be why your hatch numbers are so low. Honestly, I think candling is the best gauge of how development is going along the way. I think if you tried it with a good strong light, you'd be amazed...

    Oh, c'mon. Chin up and try again!! We've all been through it. :hugs x2!!! Did you open the others? Was there any blood/development? I'm wondering if some of those were maybe not even fertile.

    x2! It may do that, just from being so damp. It will clear up, I think. Have you candled the eggs at all?

    Is your area naturally humid or dry? If humid, i wouldn't put any water at all in the incubator until day 18 (assuming chicken eggs). If it's very dry climate, you may add a small wet sponge. But as wet as it looks now, you will likely need to run dry the rest of the time, to get the eggs to...

    Today is day 12. How many eggs, breed, and whereabouts are you located? Take the lid off, and dry it out, pour the water out of the bottom too. The condensation will drown them.
