Hii I’m very concerned about my chicken eggs. Everything is normal the temperature ranges are from 36 to 39 grad Celcius the Humidity is 50-55 %. I candled the eggs yesterday (day 2) and I didnt see much difference there was just a dark spot in the middle. Since I only have white and light brown eggs its very easy to see through. Here are some pictures of day 2:
P.S I candled the same white egg that u see on the picture today and the darker spot was even bigger a lot bigger and more visible but no veins or anything.

I would wait until day 7. But at the least til day 4 you’ll see a small hint of veins. But on day 7 you’ll see more detail.

Don’t remove any eggs until day 10 to make double sure that they’re infertile.

Thank your for your reply! Do they look fine and normal to you though? Im not new at this but I havent hatched any chicken eggs in a while.

I’ve personally never candled eggs at day 2 or 3 so I wouldn’t know for sure. I’ve only candled day 4 eggs once. The rest of my batches I always candle at day 7 or later.

It’s too early to say if they look good or not but my hopeful self says they’re fine no need to worry 😊
