Happy for you but heres my dilema ~
I candled on 4th day.....
Sigh......

I know it was early but I was having a high levels of anxiety.... My eggs are 8 coronation hatching eggs sent by mail and they are a med brown in color.
I could not see ANYTHING... Is there still hope? Did I look too early?

I have checked eggs before ... they looked veiny and hatched just not this soon... hmmm sigh tap tap tap any thoughts ? NEW EGG

It was early - especially with a dark-shelled egg. I'd wait till Day 7 at the earliest. I read a post discussing using light at both ends of the egg when candling, so I tried that - it made a HUGE difference! Give it another 3 or 4 days and try again.
