candled tonight- day 16

[keystonepaul]

Candled my dark eggs tonight- day 16 began at 7pm.
42 to start- one went bad and was discarded earlier
16 never developed and were discarded- cracked em all to be sure and no mistakes.
25 back to the bator- several were questionable, but didn't smell. What I saw in the majority of those I kept was a dark area taking up the 3/4 or so of all but the top of the egg with definate air sacks in the top. That's about it. I'm assumming the dark area is the developing chick?? yeah/neah? Thanks, Keystonepaul.

It seems that at that age the eggs are mostly dark. You will be able to see a few veins close to the air cell. Sometimes I will see movement. I wish there was a way to take really good pics of the different stages. That would be very helpful for everyone.
