Okay, I'm back. I've actually decided not to upload pics because I really don't want to handle the eggs anymore tonight.

Well, I guess this experiment just got a bit more interesting, eh?
I think everything will be okay.

I know, its hard.

This is the main reason I only candle 3 times during incubation. I'm afraid of breaking the eggs.

Once, during a power outage, I broke a lovely 10 day old egg that had a wild wiggler in it so badly that the whites were leaking out. I was trying to move all my eggs in to one incubator and I held one of my trays the wrong way and cracked that egg. It couldn't be saved.

After hearing both of my parents repeatedly scolding me over this, "You don't have to candle every day" I'm now realizing that reality.
I had a gut feeling from the getgo that this was going to happen at some point.
I'm at that point now. Now I'm using this mistake as a stepping stone for my path of knowledge that will lead me into the future. I am going to keep going with life and this experiment and whatever happens happens. Period.

I might candle the Banty eggs every other day at the most since they are closer to hatching. But I would keep them close to the bottom of the incubator and just look for an internal pip.
