Hi everyone!
I decided to try and incubate two chicken eggs (in addition to adopting chickens from an industrial poultry house) - it's my first time and as I have no experience in candling eggs, I was wondering if I could ask you for an advice on whether this egg - Welsumer breed - is viable. The other egg I have is of Ayam cemani and as the eggshell is white, it's much easier to read. And it's clearly doing well. But with the Welsumer egg, which is spotted and brown, I just can't decide whether everything is going well or not. It's a 7th day of the incubation. My guess is that something is rather off. I don't see any veins or anything in particular and the Ayam cemani egg in comparison is clearly way more developed (there is a large dark red area and smaller light area). But maybe it's just the color of the eggshell, that masks it off? What do you think? The third picture is the egg of Ayam cemani just for comparison.
