Good luck with your hatch! I like my NR 360 so much that I just ordered another one last

How cool

What day should I candle the eggs?

I am bad. I peek at a couple on day 2, not that it does me much good. Then candle all on day 3. Then just about every day after that I look at at least a few of them and all of them probably every 3 days after day 3. LOL

so... I put the bantam eggs in today as they only take 19 days also I will be peaking a eggs almost every day but only candling like 3-5 if I see good amounts of veins , movements etc. I will show pic if possible

I candled all eggs and most seem to be doing well

So I got 4BO
3EE
3PBR
1 extra EE

3 of 4 BO are thriving the bo is just non fertile
3 of 3 BPR are thriving
4 of 4 EE are either non fertile or died early on.

I will be adding some of my barnyard mixes in there

my 11
so most of them I cant see anything inside the egg its completely dark is this a good sign or a bad one?
All 3 bantam eggs seem unfertile

I will get some picture tonight when the room is dark so you can see the eggs better and this will be my last candling!

I have an indoor/outdoor digital thermometer with a wireless outdoor unit. I placed the outdoor unit inside my incubator to monitor humidity levels (and temp since I found the monitor on my incubator to be less reliable). My hatch rate went from 3 out of 14 eggs to10 out of 15. These were "farm fresh eggs" purchased from a local ranch purchased as "eating eggs" which I requested they not be refrigerated. The incubator what one of those cheapies from Amazon and the rotator no longer works, so we rotated by hand twice a day.

My camera didn't get very good pictures with all the extra light from the NR

Those are the only good pictures I got.
