They’re so cute! Makes me want mine to hurry up.

Probably hard to tell in the photo but day five definitely shows some development.

So yesterday was day five and I candled last night. Of the 32 eggs 3-4 looked to not be developing and another 3-4 were too dark to see much of anything. The rest looked to be developing fairly well from what I could see.

So I know not everyone candles but for those who do when do you make the call to pull the duds and get rid of them? I question my candling ability do to limited experience but wouldn’t mind getting them in the auto turner if there were few enough “good” ones left to all fit.

That is what I did & the chicken eggs showed more fertility than expected. Look for the dark blob and the faintest of blood vessels towards the air cell. Bright flashlight is required. If any glow yellow and are markedly different from others, pull them. The 2 I pulled were not fertile on opening, confirming my theory.

If any doubt, put it back in to cook more. Dark ones are challenging even with a better flashlight. Being psychic helps.

Sometimes you just can’t tell. Keep them in until you know.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.
