ok, I'm on day 15 for the first batch of Welsummers, and day 8 for the 'replacement' batch...
and I have candled a couple of times but could not tell a darn thing.
I have tossed out two eggs before, as they were clear or very broken and leaking... and tossed three more tonight as they were 15 day ones, and clear, and one was cracked and smelled.
the other ones I have NO idea tho! LOL!
I never say 'veins'.
but I think I see air sacks, at the top, and now the remainder of two week ones are dark thru the entire bottom part mostly.
is that a chick?
nothing moves. and I don't see any chick 'parts'... but they are dark eggs...
the week old ones are cool...
I could see a couple of them had a little maybe 1 cm 'thing' in there, and it seemed to be moving around... is that an embryo? and do they swim around like that?????
if so, we have some good ones!
woohoo!!!
the temp dropped at the end of candling to 95, is that ok? I'm sure it warmed back up pretty quick, my incubator is a Little Giant with a fan and a turner...
I hope I didn't hurt them by taking them out... and letting it cool down...
now, on Tuesday I put the old ones out of the turner? just on the wire bottom?
on their sides?
or should I put them in egg cartons so they stay up on ends?
oh, and I put the old ones in on a Friday am, so do I put them out of the turner on Tuesday am?
do they pip on Friday or thursday and hatch friday?
