Day 10

[Nanny Kim]

I waited until today to candle my eggs and they are looking good. Do you all candle all of your eggs at this time? I only candled about 5 or 6 of them, should I have candled all of them? I also only candled two of my ducks and they too are looking good as well. But should I have done all of them too?

Well it doesn't really matter if you candle all of them. But by now if they are clear, its safe to throw them out. Glad everything is going according to plans.

Thank you very much.

No problem! Remember to keep us updated.

So I had a little surprise tonight my first chick hatched tonight! It's only day 18! He's the proverbial early bird? He seems healthy enough peeping and strolling around the incubator.
