This is my first time incubating. I have a still air Little Giant bator and 8 Golden Penciled Hamburg eggs I ordered off of eBay. Last night, I candled them and found two eggs out of eight that had moving embryos inside them. (Which was so exciting it nearly caused me to drop said eggs.
.)
I don't see ANYTHING in the other eggs. Maybe one with a cloudy mass, but no blood vessels, etc. I can see a yolk in a few so I guess those were infertile.
Should I go ahead and toss the six? The eggs are white and pretty easy to see in. Wouldn't there at least be some blood vessels by this point?
I already feel the urge to get more hatching eggs to see if I can have better results next time.
Edited to add: Today is day 8.
