Candling eggs day 4 normal developing but heart isnt beating!!

[lisamuller]

Hi, So I candled my eggs, today is day 4 and they were developing just fine and there were no blood rings. Everything seemed normal except for two eggs. They looked normal as the rest but their hearts weren't beating! I couldn't see it. Is this a red flag? Or is it normal? I have no cluee please someone let me know

It is pretty normal to not see it move, but I would candle them again on day 8 to see if they grew or not..

Yeah, sometimes they turn and you can't see their heart beat. It's probably totally fine. If there are healthy looming veins they're alive. Here's a pic of a day 4 chicken. See how it's turned.

I am new to hatching and candling, I read that you should never candle until after 7th day, is this wrong? I am so impatient I want to candle so bad lol This batch is only day 3. I waited with my last batch of 9, only 5 have made it due to hatch the 21st. Then I did another 9, they are due to hatch the 27th and only 3 left there with the magifly. Now I did 22 on the Nurture right 360 and the wait is KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLING ME

I candle every single day after day 2, lol. It's not necessary, but it helps me a lot to see the day by day growth. I can also remove any quitters and it helps me become familiar with each egg. I wouldn't reccomend it, but it's what I do lol
