Cayuga Egg Candle trouble

[Knighstar679]

Hello,

I have been trying to work with a Cayuga cross egg with is a darkish blue hue on candling. I have tried my cell phone but that wasn't too helpful as the light bleed made thing worse to see. I have a powerful little LED flash light that I have been using, but I am really having issues telling if these little eggs are fertile and to keep them going or in one case make sure it stays in the incubator, or if they are a lost cause.

Posted is a picture of a one of the eggs that I am having issues with. It has been in the incubator at 99.4-100 for 24 hours, but was laid yesterday morning. I got this egg local unlike my others.

You won't be able to tell in 24 hours. You may be able to tell something at about 3 days, but it's best not to throw out any before day ten. By day ten you should be able to see some veins beginning to form.

Here is an article by
@Pyxis about incubation, and there is a photo of a chicken egg on day 4. Ducks will be similar.
