Hello,
I am getting used to candling and my hen Beatrice has been on 22 + eggs because others keep laying with her. 3 have hatched, one has pipped and we have removed the ones that have little or no development. I plan to leave the others for a few more days, but how do i interpret the following.....
dark material that moves as I move the egg... occupies about half of the egg. (will an embryo slosh around or will it remain in one position?)
Solid and dark with an 18 day air space.... is it alive or could it be dead? Any way to know? I can't see any movement.
completely solid dark, no air space detected, no peeping.
Thanks for any help!
Tanya
