    Hi i found an abandoned duck nest and saw the dead mother next to it so I took the eggs to try to hatch them. I’ve had them for 16 days but I know that they have been alive for at least 23 days because I saw the nest before the mother died. Anyway, there was 6 but now there’s only 2 left because...

    ARE MY DUCK EGGS ALIVE?

    Hi! I found an abandoned duck nest and saw the dead mom so I decided to take the eggs that were unharmed and try to hatch them. I built an incubator and am doing my best to keep the temperature and humidity right. I candled them and am not sure if they are alive or not. They look like they could...

    Fertile or not?

    Candling blue eggs and I can’t see a thing inside! it’s day 7, and there’s no clear veins or embryos, but can’t see much of anything. here is one that is clearly infertile and here is what most of the others look like... Any thoughts from those of you experienced with blue eggs? 🤷‍♀️ 🤔

    Candling pics Day 11... are they ok? My first attempt at incubation!

    Hey guys, I have a few eggs that I'm unsure about and would love anyone to gloss over the pics if possible...It's Day 11. I believe there's some massive air cells (detached or saddled?) so they're sitting in incubator pointy side down. Thanks heaps :)

    *candling pics help* blood ring?

    Does this look like the beginning of a blood ring? It spider veins, but it looks like it’s starting to pool in a ring? Thoughts?

    Candling Eggs

    So I’m on the last few hours of day 17 now, approaching day 18. I candled a few eggs today just to see the progress. When I candle, a lot of the eggs are empty on the bottom/pointy end, or there is a wavy network of veins. However, when I tap the shell, the dark mass moves. These eggs are Easter...

    Candling pic clarification please

    Does anyone know what I’m looking at, and more so, is it normal? This is my 1st time incubating duck eggs from our Runners. I have a 3rd egg in the incubator, not pictured and the embryo fills up the entire egg so it’s entirety is dark. It’s also a day 21er. Worth mentioning all 3 eggs have lots...

    Hatching, Learning, Candling

    This is my second time incubating eggs. The first time was a nightmare of changing incubators (three) to be exact (41 eggs turned into 18 chicks, not bad for it snowing while collecting the eggs). This time, I overloaded with 53 eggs. I have a 41 egg auto turner and of course, the virus...

    Quail eggs are notoriously hard to candle (based on what I'm seeing and reading online). I was wondering if and when I should eliminate eggs from my incubator that are completely clear?
