Today was the Day 15 (Week 2) candling. In my last update, 5/7 of the eggs were fertile, but I left the 2 bad eggs in there just in case they were late bloomers.
Got really good results in this candling, all 5 of the fertile eggs still had living embryos in them, and some of them were even moving! Here are the pics
Egg #1
This was one of the 2 infertile eggs. Should I just ditch it already?
Egg #2
This one was moving!
Egg #3
Probably my best picture. You can see (what I think is) one of the ducklings legs
Egg #4
This one was a little harder to see
Egg #5
Egg #6
This one was a little smaller than the others, that's why I had to hold it here
Egg #7
I'm not even sure if there was a yolk in this one
Just one question this week, when should I start to mark the air sac? I know you should do this before lock-down so you'll know where they'll pip.
Stay tuned, week 3 candling pics will come soon, hopefully followed by "The Hatchening"
