I don't think candling hurts the eggs ( as long as it is done fast and you don't drop the egg ...lol). I always over candle mine and somethimes I have good hatches and sometimes I don't.
I am sorry to hear about your friend's hens..That's sooooo sad!

ya he just gave me 7 more eggs. my bators a little full but in a few days it wont be. im sure not all the eggs are fertile. lol Any signs of growth in ur eggs yet??

I haven't candle them yet. Today is only day 3. I will probably will take a peak tonight. Don't know if I will be able to see anything as those eggs are kind of dark. I will let you know. How are yours doing?

Just candle my eggs. None of them seem to be fertile (except for maybe one mystery barnyard egg). Those were shipped eggs I bought from someone here at BYC. So disappointed.

I guess I will give them a few more days...but not very hopeful. ow are yours doing??

i candled them..not all of them. i was afraid of the temp dropping to much. all but a few of the ones i checked were good, threw out 4. one was good but i dropped it

. it didnt crack but it detached the embryo and killed it. I hope urs are ok.!!!

Mind if I join in? I set 8 welsummer eggs I got off of Ebay on the 15th. I'm doing a staggered hatch with other eggs I put in on the 8th. I wanted to mention that I havn't even touched my welsummer eggs to candle. It's way to early especially with dark eggs. I can't see veining in the dark eggs so I usually wait at least a week and look to see if its getting darker in there as well as a good air cell. I would say to be patient with yours as well. Good things come to those that wait!
