2017 Gosling Hatch a long!!

Due the middle of October, can't wait to not be pregnant anymore

The moving part isn't bad, I'm excited to be going back to our own house with room for animals.

I contacted the seller and she said to wait a few more days as well, and a friend of mine who said she never sees anything until day 10. I hope they're/you're right and I'm just being crazy.

Can't wait to see your pictures! What day are you on now?

Im day 10 today so was going to check my two dodgy ones that we're doing nothing on day 7. I'm worried about them turning bad and exploding or something.
My fourth daughter is 18 months at the moment so i know what you mean about getting tired of pregnancy...it's exhausting isn't it? And you've the hot months to come yet...
My family joke that I'm hatching eggs instead of having another baby...

Ha ha ha. If I had been hatching eggs I probably wouldnt be in the condition I'm in now.

Good luck. I hope your dodgy eggs have caught up for you.

Ok I've candled again as it's day 10 and I wanted some opinions on two dodgy looking eggs. The first picture I think might be a blood ring, as I can't see an embryo, just a vein going in an arc. The second picture I can't see anything at all in it. The last pic is one im sure is healthy, with movement to give you an idea of what stage the other eggs are at in development, for comparison purposes.
Sorry the pictures aren't very clear, I did my best with rubbish equipment!
Opinions, anyone?

 

[WRVgirl]

I think the same as you! Blood ring and a dud

I candled again just a few moments ago, because I had to turn them and add more water, so why not?

Two eggs now show an aircell! So I'm starting to feel a little better.

Hopefully I'll see some more definitive growth soon (if not I'm buying an ac adapter for my car and we will be traveling with a live incubator full of eggs next month )

I think I've got ruptured cells in the other eggs tbh, but my incubator won't allow for standing the eggs upright....any suggestions on that?

There's an amazing post by Pete55 on here called Suggestions for management of ruptured air cells
https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...aged-and-mal-positioned-egg-air-cells.501034/

I hope the link works cos I'm rubbish at technology, but it really helped me with an egg with a side air cell on it.
Have a look.
And thanks, I think they are duds too!

 

[Nannette114]

Great news on the air cells too!

 

[WRVgirl]

Thank you. Feeling better about it now. I'm hopeful they will all catch up. Ha ha ha.

Glad you only had two duds!

I'm hoping now that the remaining 5 eggs now make it to and through hatching day! We'll have to wait and see eh!
I reckon when it comes to your day 7 you'll see some development. And maybe try to prop up the eggs with ruptured air cells so they are as upright as the incubator allows, so the air collects and stays at the top of the egg. That should help. It seems to be a common problem with shipped eggs from what I've read on here.
