I sent a PM to you and one of the Mods on BYC to see if they can help figure out what is going on. There may an account or Database problem.

You will know by day 8 usually. If you cannot tell for sure, then wait longer. Use the sniff test though. There is a distinct odor to rotten eggs.

Next eggs I am hatching are gonna be light colored eggs. These beautiful, dark, opaque eggies are rather a mystery. Kinda pointless to try to candle. I guess new years will be either a happy surprise or a "learning experience" I am going to go stare at the incubator and think "grow, grow, little chickies" because that's about all I can do. . .

With the High intensity Brinsea Ova View you can often see the air cell and veins there.

Often what you see with very hard to see into eggs is either a glow or darkness. If over the first 18 days, the Darkness is getting bigger and the air cell is growing too, then there is a chick in the egg. If the egg continues to glow, it is not developing and is a clear.

Weighing and weight loss shows develoment too.

I had to wait a while before it would let me on this morning. Working now though! So, thought I would share what I found hatched in a tree who knows when. Ha..anyone else have any of these hatching soon? We have another grandbaby on the way, number 33!
