So I went ahead and candled them all. All the WC Black Polish from Crunchy seem a little smallish. The Barred Rocks though are full size and I actually saw one moving! I wonder if it's the difference in the breed? I hope the little polish ones are o.k. I really want some of those because...
If I candle the eggs, how much of the egg should the embryo take up at this point? All of it except the air sack? I don't have a fancy candler so I'm trying to judge by using a flash light. I see a really dark mass in the middle but it gets lighter towards the bottom. Is that normal?
