then I start thinking, well maybe I should candle them and see if they are dead



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO




maybe I need to go to bed

Bless your heart. I hope they are ok

I think I need to add this for the night,
part of the "lock down kit" of the coolerbators

I think they all need this, lol

thanks, what flashlight are you using to candle? I hope things are looking better for you! your thermometers were calibrated?

I have an incubright and a high intensity ovascope. Yes, thermometers calibrated. Top of egg 99.5 forced air. I also have thermometers at mid egg and bottom of egg. They are much lower. Is that to be expected?

Yes, do lock it up!

Wait several days and then check---you know that! I bet you have it written in a KB article somewhere too.

99.5 at mid level of eggs in a forced air. The important thing is that the inside of the egg is 99.5.

It sounds like you are doing fine though!

So, I finally found the flashlight! Candled the eggs while hiding in the bathroom (day 7). I have some questions. First, when I candled two eggs the yolks seemed to roll around in the egg, is this bad? All of them looked "inactive" except one might have had a dark spot. No veins, no obvious dark spot.

I've never gotten eggs from this lady before. Should I start getting worried?? Our last hatch went so smooth, but I KNEW we had well fertilized, fresh eggs. These, ones not as much.

edit: ALL the eggs look inactive, not just the rolling yolk ones

No veining at all by 7 days? What kind of eggs?

They are white (w.leghorn/buff.o) and light green (ee/buff.o)

 

[Scovy Momma]

Bummer! I was thinking maybe if they were eggs that took longer to hatch that would be normal but I'm still new.

BTW, are you in Manhattan, KS? My best buddy lives there! I fly back & forth often the last 7 years!
