Day 6 candling..... do these look right?

[magoochie]

This is my first time hatching and I have no clue what I should be looking for. I did try to compare to the candling forum

However, maybe some of you experienced hatchers can give me an idea if they are doing ok or not.


I am on day 6.

and here is one of my marans eggs, you cant see very well. Is it a possible blood ring?

The top ones look good to me, although I am new at this too, can't tell ya about the bottom one, not sure....

Im wondering about the ones that have a definite line where the veining stops. It seems weird. But maybe its ok.... I just have no idea.

The top ones are definitely coming along okay

You would know if they weren't developing, there's a HUGE difference. You can see right through the egg and there's no air pocket, veins.. just nothing.

Cool thanks!

Do you know why the veins arent in the whole egg? and they all stop in the same place? Seems weird to me. Looks like there is a definite line in them where everything just stops.

As right as rain! The last photo isn't clear enough to see into but all of the others are developing right on track. Congratulations!

I think the line you're talking about is the air sac....

Check out this AMAZING slide-show of embryo development and you'll see what's actually happening inside your eggs at this stage.

They do that. It's good that they have veins in it at all - you don't need to worry about where they go or where they stop. Veins + air sac = growing birdy!
