Day 3 candling eggs

[Chickenupho]

So these are the chicken eggs I’ve been incubating for three days. Do they look alright? Sorry, this is my first time..

I really wouldn't advise candling that early. The embryos are fragile and you're not going to see much. Day 7 would be better, if you really want to candle before lockdown.

They look good for Day 3! Have you seen this article?

It's super helpful for determining if your eggs are on track. I would agree with @Mosey2003, I try to handle the eggs as little as possible. It's so tempting to be a serial candler though... Good luck with your hatch!!!

I know, but I’m doing this for a science project and requires to be candled daily to show the growth... Thank you though!

Candling is done on: 7 14 and 19 to check air cell development. Day 7 I sort eggs that are developing from eggs that look like duds. On day 14 I re check and toss eggs that are not developing

Day 3 is very early but both eggs look like they are developing
