Day 14 Candle...toss or not?

[morgakl2]

Alright BYC, I need your help. I bought 8 eggs online BYC from PENN. Today is day 14. I just candled them and all put one let the light shine through like Rudolph's nose. Only 1/8 was mostly dark. 7/8 I didn't see any dark spots are blood vessels. Is it time to toss those? My temp has been 98 on the bottom and 101 on the top. Humidity between 48-50%.

it doesn't look good for the 7
you should definitely see something by now
look at the beginning of the hatching thread there are great pics of what the egg should look like at different days

Yeah I just looked at that thread and the 7 look like 52 hours or less

I guess it's time to chunk them. Man that's $30 down the trash. I will never do shipped eggs again!

Shipped eggs are a risk--the average is 50% it seems. That means, as a teacher you'll get this, some times it's 1/8, sometimes 0%, sometimes 7/10 hatch. I have read everything BUT 100 % for shipped eggs on BYC. Sorry you will be only getting 1/8--hope it's a cutie!

I found local eggs for a breed I wanted by using the WHo am I? WHere are you? ( it's the state by state threads). I put out my request. Also, read the breed thread and look for people in your area. I will need to drive an hour one way for a few eggs, and even if only half hatch, I'm doing ok.
