Are these what you snow ppl use? For your frozen water problems?View attachment 1317451 View attachment 1317452

Not me. I use a bucket de-icer. My BIL told me Allied Precision is good stuff so this is the one I have. And yes, it keeps my poultry nipples from freezing without melting a plastic bucket or heating the water when it isn't anywhere near freezing so I'm happy. I only paid about $25. Amazon is high for this but a convenient link.

This is very similar if not the same as the one I have, works great

@KikisGirls There were veins with S and W when you first looked at them.

There is someone who uses an aquarium heater in a frame to keep it from banging around when she refills but I can't remember who.

I'm thinking there should be veins as well. There were veins in your Day 1 candling picture from before.

The Man may need fresher balutties. Don't people know they are supposed to be ALIVE.

Also remember that these are chicken eggs not duck eggs so they might not look exactly the same as S & W did at this stage of development. I hope this works. My other question, once you candle them again, and label them, is if there are any obvious differences from one egg to the next? Do you think all of your new eggs are on the same age of development?

@KikisGirls that heating pad I bought is a RCA ( really crappy appliance) returning it tomorrow.. your right fricken aliens. Anyone got any ideas what would work as a heat source in a homemade styrofoam hatcher incubator thing besides a light?

Not to be a debbie downer, but, I've candled chicken eggs before, and I recall seeing veins. Unfortunately, hese eggs look like this:
