bad sign :( ... now a good sign! :)

hey guys.... i think this is a bad sign..... i tried to candle on day 5 which is today .... and the eggs are really porous..... isn't that bad? should i wait it out till day 10 maybe? and try it again or should i just take them all away

I would wait and try again. Did you see any veins?

Porous eggs can be a bad sign (because it allows bacteria in more easily), but the eggs may still develop and be viable.

What does a porous egg look like? I'm in the process of my first batch and was just wondering. I'm on day 7....

Thanks cristin, that link isn't working for me, I will try it again in a little while and see what it does.

I know it is to the same post but for some reason the first one listed in this thread comes up as an error and this one is working? IDK why?

I have 1 egg that looks sort of like that. I thought it was "poop" on the egg, its kind of on the outside and inside... I will try to take a pic later on tonight when I candle.......
