Getting ready to now. I posted a thread with pics. Wanted to confirm they were blood rings first.

Ok, I have 14 Welsummer Eggs and 2 EE eggs. I am on day 8 of incubation.

1 EE egg shows progress.

9 Welsummer Eggs show progress

Out of the 5 Welsummer eggs that do not show any progress, when candled I can see a crack in ONE.

Sorry Art... I am not confirming blood rings in your eggs, but if that is what they are.

Bummer.

Okay.....So if a egg has a blood ring, When you crack it open will there be a embryo inside or will it be empty or both? I cracked out 6-7 of what I thought were eggs with blood rings and 3 were empty and 4 were not.

Only one looked like a little chick with a very large eye and the other ones just seemed like a mass or a blob. No movement. I am not very easily grossed out. Besides, its all so scientific. Not to mention a learning experience. i am sure I will continue to make mistakes due to my lack of knowledge and patiance. I think I am down to 18-19 eggs.

Well I definitely see veins in mine. I numbered all eggs. 1-9 for my mutts, and 1-16 for my marans. I couldnt see in the marans really well.

But im not sure if i have blood rings either.

Here are some pics.

here is a maran egg..... possible blood ring?

What do you think? Today is day 6.

 

[artathart]

I think something is wrong with my eggs. Wheber you guys post pics of your eggs progressing, Mine look nothing like them. When I do have a egg with something inside or a eye, Its NEVER in the center of the egg. Its always at the fat end of the egg. Are they sticking or something? You see how your eggs have a clear embryo in the center? This is all mine.....

 

[magoochie]

your air cell looks good in the 1st pic, that 2nd one is hard to see.

I'm not sure what you are seeing. Its hard to tell from a picture if its "stuck" or not.

I know mine are floating around, but i only have good air cells in a couple eggs.

Here is the egg candling forum if you havent seen it. Maybe this will help.
