ScotianChick ive heard that eggs will remain fertile for up to 3 weeks but they start to waver at 2. I dont see how you guys can resist candling at least once or twice a week. I think I would go nuts lol.

 

[ScotianChick]

I didn't resist. I've been doing it since I put them in

I figure I have to open the bater to turn them so might as well candle.

Lol I ment the others who arent going to do it till lockdown etc

Lol

Just candled eggs & there are 18 left xD all banties. 2 of the banties had blood rings, the others werent fertile which means my roos in the main pen arent doing their job

 

[ScotianChick]

What is a blood ring? I think I might have one like this... it looks odd in comparison to the others.

 

[The Wolf Queen]

A blood ring is a sorta thick red line that runs through the middle of the egg. Heres a pic of one http://animalscience.ucdavis.edu/Avian/images/Img0014L.jpg

All 18 of the ones that made it so far are doing great

. Hows everyone else doing?
