Had a day of no sleep last night grocery shopping today
ticked my girls off they where picking on this EE I have kicked one clean across the coop
bruised my backside lifting my lef that fast fell over backwards bruised the elbow


James went in the sewing room looking at eggs with me tonight most have lots of life a couple leave them to see
actually dropped my light on on one of the eggs
it does have lots of veining hopefully it will make it did not
break the membrane if nothing else I have strong membranes on my girls eggs

I candled all of mine tonight as well. Looks like all have veins! Your girls and Blue done good Penny1960!!!

Egg 6:
Air cell

Egg 7:
Air cell- this is one of only two I'm fairly confident MIGHT be fertile

Egg 8:
Air cell- this is the other MIGHT be fertile egg

Sorry if the pics aren't great. I don't have a real camera, just my phone. What do you guys think? Should I be seeing more than this by now?

ETA: I use a flashlight for candling. The candler that came with my bator was NOT bright at all. It's the brightest one I have. Is it bright enough?

Well, I just watched about 50 egg candling videos on YouTube, and now I'm thinking NONE of my eggs are fertile! I'm gonna candle them again on day 10 to be sure, but it looks like I may have to count myself or of the NYD hatch-a-long...so disappointing. I was so excited. Well, maybe I'll see some development on day 10. Who knows? Could get lucky.

I couldn't see anything in your eggs either, and by day 7 there's usually some pretty pronounced veins. You might "sacrifice" one of them and open it up. If they're all from the same place (remind us where they came from), that one that you open could give you an indication about the rest.

Ducks and quail babies, I think, are the cutest things ever! Congratulations! (Of course, chicks are pretty darn cute too!)
