I would say what you described is a good sign of things going in the right direction.

ok good!! i only have to in there and i would like to maybe seel them when they hatch! they are EE's i was hoping someone on here might be intrested! i would like some more grown hens. i only have 1 EE hen. i worry about breeding father to daughter! jus sounds creepy

Breeding father to daughter is fine. You don't want to breed siblings though. It is very common to breed the father to daughter in poultry. You shouldn't have issue unless they have bad genetics and something bred out gets brought back through the breeding. If they start having health issues then you should introduce new blood. I'm not too swift on all the genetics, but that has been my understanding of the basics. Sounds like things are going perfect in those eggs. Good luck with your hatch!

Father to daughter is not too bad, but you want to avoid sister to brother if you can. Here is a link to egg candling and what it should look like along the way.

Remember this is done with a strong light, so your's might not show up as well, also the green eggs even when light colored, are harder to see through. I found this thread by going to search and inputting candling egg series.
