Candling day 3 are they dead

[writerskramp]

I actually already have one, but it isn’t as powerful as the flashlight so I don’t like using it

Would like more information how you do this.. I've tried, no luck. Brown eggs though..

Sometimes my eggs are in the coop that long.. no chicks as MGG said. I've never candled, brown eggs and nothing has worked DIY. So I just pickup some brooding hen of choice. All eggs under her, separate her and confine her.. If she does her job, chicks.. 5 out of 6 is 83.33% success rate. Patience Grasshopper

Sorry, idk what you mean. The eggs have been in the incubator since Tuesday and they are on their third day

On how I candle the eggs with the flashlight? I just hold the egg up to the light and cup my hand around it so no light goes around it. It is really hard to see inside the darker eggs

In the dark perhaps..?

The candler shown is great. I have one. Candling from the top, aircell up, works best IMO. I candle in a dark room or closet. I can see some development in some of your eggs. I agree, wait until day 7, then candle again. Good luck.

Thank you so much! I will make sure to candle in a few days and tag you!

From the pictures, #1 and #7 are the only ones that look like they could be developing.

I would remove #3, the rest I would leave a bit longer. The pics aren't the best, so it's a little more difficult for me to tell you if they're alive or not.
