Day 6

[redneckchickens]

Doing the very first batch of chicken eggs. there seems to be atleast 8 good eggs out of 13 all have good veins starting. Question is I cant really see the "eye" Is it to early to tell? Some eggs are a lil bit harder to see due to color. Im just hoping the incubator is actually working. Humidity was at 65% but now have removed most water to hopefully bring it down and increase it back up once lock down starts. Any helpful tips or charts to look at?

I typically don't candle until day 10, it makes it a lot easier to see through brown shelled eggs.

this article should help you out a lot. if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
