Candling while moving?

[ChickenPeep]

Can i candle my eggs?? They are on day 18 and thay have been moving, but no pips yet. Can i candle them?

Yes, as long as the shell isn't pipped thru, you should be fine. Just don't dilly dally, as my mom would say.

 

[ChickenPeep]

Haha! Hey Cherstin!

Yep I would! Fastly, gently, and keep them in the hatching position like on your other post that pete55 showed you. Keep going you'er doing great so are your chicks I'm praying for you!

It won't be long you will see a little hole or a crack!!!

 

[ChickenPeep]

Hey, chickenpeep! Congrats! I moved my incubator into the bathroom to really bump up the humidity and a second egg started to pip! Yay!

Put the coffee on ... I have the feeling we're in for a long night!

 

[ChickenPeep]

Can you estimate when i might get the first pip?
Cherstin, what kind of bator do you have? Can i see pics?
