Candling Question!

[tim21]

Does anyone have a good website or something that shows what the eggs should look like everyday during the incubation? That would be awesome!

I have found this website useful:
http://chickscope.beckman.uiuc.edu/explore/embryology/

There is also a video on Youtube showing each days' growth

Thanks guy's those are both good sites! And also i was wondering when would be a good time to weed out the eggs that arnt fertile?

I would try the middle of the second week so that way you can be sure, yet by then they won't explode or smell too bad.

I toss my clears at day 10. When I do my day 7 candle I set anything that looks like clears/quitters to one spot in the bator and tehn I recandle them on day 10 and toss what needs to be tossed. Usually anything I set aside day 7 does go at day 10, but I just want to be absolutely sure.
