2015 breeding season

I candled the 7 eggs I have in the incubator right now. So far these are the results:

Veins in 3 eggs
1 egg I can't see inside very well because of the pores
2 eggs look like they might have a blood ring. One definitely does the other I am not sure it was hard to see into.
Last egg is clear.

So it has been 7 days for these eggs. Should I start throwing some out after the second week mark if they still show signs of being clear, having a blood ring, etc?

It was only this egg. The few eggs before had shells. That's why I'm kind of wondering. Right as I noticed her having difficulties walking I was putting water in her mouth and gave her some worming because I didn't know what was happening and then she finally passed the egg but died the morning after the day she passed the egg.

My guess is that Kathy is right, worms, not a lack of calcium.

I usually wait until day 10, they are much easer to see then. The one with the blood ring you should remove now or wait until day ten and do it then.

Thanks I thought I had read wait 10 days but I just had to peek.

I will wait until day 10 to throw out the one with the blood ring thanks for your help!

I wait, but usually it's because I'm in denial about them being bad, lol.

At seven days you can tell. Trash the blood rings and the clears.

I set eggs on the 9th and 13th and they are all developing when i checked them last night.

That's good to hear. Hopefully they will make it through the entire incubation period that remains.

What kind of incubators do you guys use?

I can't remember the model or brand I just know it's a Styrofoam incubator and I've had it for years and it works great.
