I candled my eggs at 7 and 13 days. Took out the ones that weren't doing anything. Got 15 still in there. Is there any value in candling them again now (they are due Saturday) or is it a bit late now and should I leave it?

Any advice would be great thanks :eek:)
 
If you would like to candle them do it today or tomorrow because they should go on lockdown at day 18. If you just candled on day 13, there really won't be much difference in them today. Even if youi don't see movement the egg should be left in the bator to see if it hatches.
 
I used to candle at day 10 then I started to candle when I put the eggs into lock down, but now I candle once in awhile to see how the eggs are developing. I candle after the hatch is over if I have any eggs left to see what stage of development they were at. Sometimes I break the shells open to see.
