I have 4 eggs under my banty hen. I candled today at 10 days and this is what I see: air spaces in the large end of the egg and spider web type veins around the edges (Candling with a flashlight- not the best set up). One had a blob that floated around when I turned it.
Does anyone think any of these are viable?
I swore I wasn't going to look, now I cannot help myself.
 
You are kidding!!!!!!!!!!!! Really??????? Amazing, I found the eggs in a nest that my other banty hen had hidden in the woods. I figured since it had been cool and the broody one wanted babies to give it a shot. I cannot believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Specklehen, you made my day. Now lets keep our fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!
 
Yay! The veins are a good sign! The floter... keep an eye on that one. A flash light can make a great candler... just got to get a very nice high powered one and upgrade it.
