Did you crack the one with the blood ring so you could see if there had been any development?
So if the movement is like a lava lamp, then mine are moving too. They are floating then, right?

just keep the egg and flashlight steady and you will see the chicks moving i am on day 12 and they are moving inside just have patience and watch its like feeling the baby kick inside of a mothers stomach

I don't think my candler is strong enough. It is just one of those big flashlights with a towel around the top with a hole in the middle so I can let the light into the egg. My eggs are also brown which makes it hard.
I will check agoin tonight.

Yes, Gina they do look like they are floating around...moving towards the side of the egg and then away. I could even make out the dark spot of the chick's eye!
The egg with the blood ring had no develpment that I could see. The yolk and white was mixed together. It was 10 days old and wasn't smelly yet either.

Yeah, the yolk and white mixed together would definitely give you the feeling that it was no good! I am just unsure about mine. The dark spot moves around but doesn't seem to change shape, just a large dark mass moving around the egg. I really need a brighter candler since most of my eggs are brown.

I went to Wal Mart and got a flashlight, one of those LED ones. Cost me $25. but I could see in my EE eggs tonight. And I just ordered another light from,

http://www.strombergschickens.com It cost $17.50 and that includes shipping.

I candled all of my eggs tonight, I had one blood ring, one clear, and 22 bouncing babies in the rest.

Hi, my 12 ameraucanas(supposed to be true ameraucanas) eggs due date is on 14th. Valentaine's Day!

Candled mine today... day 8 I believe.
12 for sure with 11 maybe's. One blood ring I threw out. There may be 2 more blood rings but I will give them another day or two just in case I am wrong.

It is fun to watch them dancing in there. So cool to thing we can watch little lives growing right before our eyes. I got all excited every time I saw that little black spot.
