I am new at incubating. My kids and I just candles our 21 eggs we’ve received From neighbor friends. It is day 16 for us. I had ZERO expectations for live chicks because I figure there is a learning curve. But we candled them tonight and at least 7 have both vascular and chicks MOVE!!! I am totally amazed!!!! A-maxing!!!!
5 had a clear “bubble” at the top? Some are completely clear. At this point should I remove the clear one’s? Do they pose a risk to the others being in the incubator together?
There are a few I can’t 100% tell if they are viable or not.
Thanks for any help in advance!!!

I should say, those with a bubble at the top are clearly live and I can see the chick and movement! So COOL!!

Isn't incubating addicting? Lol!
I agree with the others, the bubble is the air cell. If the egg doesn't have it I would be concerned. It plays a very important role in the hatching process. And yep, any clears can be removed. If any are questionable, post a candling pic of it and we'll let you know.
