Day 6 candling pictures, are they fertile?

[Jules929]

I have to agree, they don't look like they are doing anything. A backup thermometer/hygrometer for comparing temp/humidity would be a good investment. Don't forget to calibrate/verify the readings before your next batch. My reptile thermometer/hygrometer readings are more accurate than the incubator numbers, especially the temperature.

Cracking an egg from a batch prior to putting them in the incubator takes the guess work out of whether its the bator that’s at fault or not

I think the incubator thermometer was wrong and I just scrambled them. Oh well.

I'm throwing them away, should I crack one or not I'm afraid to see what's inside...

The eggs were definetly fertile I checked for that ahead of time.

You could, since when you candled there weren't any veins, there probably wouldn't be much but you could at least see if they were fertile.

Crack a fresh egg to look for fertility and a Rooster is needed to do that too.

I threw them away. I cracked them open and they were completely undeveloped. I think that the temperature and humidity were off. I just give up on all this I'm just gonna buy chicks from a feed store if I want some. Oh and by the way I know how to check for fertility, they were fertile, and yes we obviously have a rooster. Thanks again for all the help everyone I really appreciate it.

Do you really think I didn't know you have to have a rooster to have fertile eggs lol?

No..Although some people actually didn't know that..
