ok thanks, I think I might have seen that in one of my eggs. I would be surprised though

Happy to help! ^_^

I had no idea they did that thanks for sharing

No problem, if you see it it means it's time to lock down the eggies.

I just randomly candled one egg. Saw its foot moving cool. Thanks to all that have been showing what their eggs are doing. Now I know more what to look for.

Candling is the best part next to having actual chicks.

I used to think candling bothered them I guess not.

I leave them in their turner and candle them from the top, so I'm not picking them up each time. I have to open the bator to add water anyway so why not candle I say. hahaa

I will be locking down 5 shipped eggs tomorrow at 10 pm. 3 AC and 2 AC crosses. they all hatch!!!!! I can't wait to see what happens!!!!! Good luck everyone!!!!!

I set on the 10th due to the age of my eggs. Tonight i did my final candle and 36 out of 40 are in lock down. Woo Hooo !! Had 5 BCM eggs that i couldn't see in except to tell they have developed so those are in to but couldn't see movement like in all the others.

Go chicks!

Shipped eggs during the first week can be bad for the eggs.

True. I've added an air line to mine and add water through that with a baster. However there is nothing normal about my coolerbator all spare parts from a styrofoam one that a rat ate the bottom off of. It is hard to get to the eggs due to the fans that don't move with the lid.

They are so hard to get to due to my set up that I usually don't. Good thing
