the picture might have made it look dark but that was me taking a picure with a crappy camera and i was taking a picture of the mirror image of the egg as that's the only way it would show up if i tried just the egg the brightness blurred it out

how can i tell if the chicks all died?? like say the incubator got to hot, how could i tell they stopped growing??

I'm due on the 11th!!! YAY ME!!!

Well, I didn't have to worry about any being alive when my temp went to 115!

I guess the only way you could tell is if you kept technical information on each egg possibly by weighing. I would guess the eggs would get heavier as the chicks grew.

Looks like you are doing good so far. I am due around the 11th-13th. I looked at your candleing and decided to give a few of mine a look, I know its early. I couldn't help myself.

I have a ? for you. Do U know what it means when the egg has a bunch of tiny dots when U candle? I don't know.

I had quite a few with darkness inside of them, one of them had some spider veins. I only checked 6 of them.

Thanks andy advice will help me along.

did you use a good flashlight??? if i had a good flashlight i might get a good look through the dark spot to see if there are veins.

but its only day 6??? shouldnt they be moving or something?! i guess i will just have to wait it out.

only about 2 are all clear but i will keep them in and give them a chance. it seems like the dot gets bigger very slowly. as if a chick was growing? this isnt the yolk is it?? sorry for so many questions! i am just so worried!
