➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[danalovesdogs]

Check for a dot moving when you rotate the egg while candling it. I noticed it is harder to see the dot in quail eggs then chicken eggs. Its best to whate till day 3 for blood vens.

Dot moving as in the dark spot at the top? Meaning if it moves freely, it's no good?

Day two:
You may not be able to see in this photo.
Look at you egg along where the air cell would be. That is usually where the first signs of pink vein life is.View attachment 1937110

Thanks! I think I can just barely see it in this photo... I normally candle my eggs by putting the light at the pointy side of the egg, do you think you see things more clearly by doing it through the side like that? Or is that because you set your eggs horizontal?
I'm so impatient hahaha. These babies need to start developing NOW

The dot should be on the outside of the yolk. It means its fertile and growing. It alos moves more slowly than the entire yolk.

I incubated them standing up.
I candle sideways like this because my flashlight lights the whole egg up at once.
I recommend that you not shine your light through the pointy side...do it from the fatter air cell side and I bet you will see better.

Still only 2 good eggs. Watch for the movement on the left.

Ps. The dot does not move on it's own. It moves when you move the egg and its darker then the rest of the yolk.
