okay but i have never had a yoke not rotate with the egg yah know? kinda odd.... i will give them more time.

The only real indication candeling will give you is when you see vein development. Rotating the eggs to see if the yolk moves could cause more harm than good.

Ducks take a little longer than chickens, so candle on Day 10 instead of Day 7.

lol ... when you candle eggs, hold them gently and try to move them as little as possible. turn them slowly, in a horizontal plane whenever possible.

Candling rarely causes a problem, and when it does it is most probably from being turned too fast.
