can anyone tell me what i should be looking for? i'm on day 24 now...my last chick hatched yesterday, and i have 3 eggs left with no external pip hole so i was wondering if i can candle them tonight when it gets dark (in the UK so that's in about 3 hrs)
i just don't want them sat in the incubator if they're not alive!
i candled at day 18 but couldn't see any movement in any of the eggs, but they were all full
how do i candle without losing humidity, and what should i be looking for? do i wrap the egg in damp kitchen paper to keep it moist, or what?
i have read loads on here, and i THINK i'm looking for an internal pip...if there is one, do i just put it back in the bator and leave it to get on with it?
if there is NO internal pip, what do i do then? is that when i make a tiny hole at the airsac end, and dampen the membrane so the chick doesn't dry out?
i've probably answered my own questions, but i didn't want to do anything without checking with you guys first!
