Was shocked to see *something* in every single egg!
Most of them had obvious veins, even the blue-green eggs and the dark maran egg were clearly not infertile, to my surprise.
In almost all of them I could see the small black "dot" which is the ... what? Eye? Most of them were moving, some not so much.
A few, all I could really see is an area inside that was darker than the rest, took up maybe 1/4 of the space ... are these okay or is there a problem?
Unless I'm reading the candling results wrong, all 9 shipped eggs, plus all 6 eggs we added from home, including 3 from the fridge, are growing something!
Too excited. I was expecting "life" in about half of them, at best. Still a long way to go to 21 but I'm trying. Accidentally spiked the humidity to 60% last night and adjusted the damp washcloth this morning (added too much water to it, too much surface area exposed, I think) and I noticed that my temp had fallen from 100-101 to 98 but worried about touching the knob (still air LG).
Best of luck to all the other first timers!
