Five of the BCMs in my incubator look fairly translucent at day 14. Kind of a cloudy, darker part in the center, but I can’t see any veins or how most of the others are pretty dark in the bottom 2/3 of the egg. They do not stink, but I’m thinking these five are yolkers and should go.
Thoughts...
I posted the footage here because I was just so excited to get her movement on camera, but am I going nuts or are there two chicks in here? Or is that just her absorbing the yolk? She should be a little over two weeks along.
I have a Maran cross Wyandotte egg in the incubator that I am concerned about. It is still alive, but can someone tell me that the egg looks fine for day 14.
See attached pictures.
First time hatching.
On day seven I had to remove 2 out of the 14 eggs as they had rings. The rest were all good with clear veins with lively embryos (on the most part) and the air cell was either clearly visible or you could just make it out.
Day 14, today, and I've had to remove 6 eggs 😟...
Hi guys, noob first time quail (anything actually) incubator. Today is day 14 and we will be going into lockdown. I do not have faith in my ability to candle these little spotted eggs effectively so my question is:
Do I not candle, not float, just put the eggs in lockdown and pray for no...
I have 7 eggs under my hen. Today is day 14. I candled the eggs tonight and saw 5 eggs with obvious chicks inside, but am wondering about the other two. One was much lighter than the others, no obvious veins, but possible air cell and what looks like the dark eye of the chick, but no movement...
