chatting about eggs...Qs

[secuono]

Ok, so how long should I leave eggs in the bator before candling them, 7 days? What does the egg look like up to that day if it's still viable? All 13 X eggs have a visible yolk. 1 brown dot has a blood ring. both yellow dot eggs are near hatching. Rest, slash line eggs, 12 or so, have wee lil babies growing! So Egg-citing!
I just need to know about those X eggs, viable or not...hmmm.


But the X eggs back in...googled and now not sure, I'll re-candle in a few days.

I leave my eggs in the 'bator for a full 5-6 days before candling them.

If you candle before 5-6 days, your not gonna see much of anything.

I'm seeing the yolk in all the X eggs, I can't tell if it's bad or part of normal development.
Pretty much just like the egg below, just not neon yellow, lol.

I've seen video of people candling from day 1-18. Depends on the type of egg and the candler used.

I guess that means they are still viable...
idk why everything day 1, day 2 and theres things in there. It took all of my X eggs a few days to get to the stage/day 2 picture....something isn't right with all these pics.


Anyway, took out 7 eggs from different marked eggs. Still lots in there growing. 2 should hatch soon, too bad I didn't mark down when I put all these eggs in...lol
