6th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2015 Hatch-A-Long

[FuzzyHens]

Just finished candling...I think I am pulling this egg...



Is this a seeping egg? When I candle it, it is very bright. The whole egg lights up, not like the others. I should pull this?

This is my first hatch, so appreciate all the help!!

Of the other 7 eggs, I had a mixed bag. I think I saw veins in all the rest, although one has a largish air sack on it's side, not on top, and another may have a blood ring. So, I'll probably re-candle at day 10. This was day 7 (I set last Friday).

Now I'm so nervous for the next 2 weeks!!

Looks like it's been seeping, not worth keeping.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!  impressive!!!!!!              

Thank you.


On another note. I looked at the eggs at Whole Foods and they had inserts in the eggs and told what breed laid those eggs. They had eggs from three different farms there, their farm bane was on the carton. One farm had eggs from Amberlinks. Another had eggs from Bovan Browns and I can't remember what the other one was. Those were from the brown eggs. Too bad they weren't fertile.

Our Whole foods had some fertile heritage eggs once. They had brown, blue and marans.

The do not have them now though...

Definitely a seeping egg! Pull it.

Quote: I was just wondering. I guess I forget that many people HAVE to buy hatching eggs. I keep roosters around so for the most part I have fertile chicken eggs. Right now I did take all of the roosters out of my laying pen but they are still there in my heritage pens. Now I just need my heritage birds to lay more and more eggs. Most have not started to lay yet as they were summer hatches last year.
