Two more weeks to go. None of the eggs looked clear, but some were very tough to tell. I used a mini-maglite and it was just hard to see through the RIR shells. All of the silkies seem to be developing, although the air cell seems to be in a strange place on one of them. So I hoping for a good hatch in two weeks of silkies, RIR and BO from Jody. Does anyone have a link that shows what a blood ring looks like? This is fun.
Here is a picture of a blood ring http://lancaster.unl.edu/4h/Images/Embryology/images/Candling2002/April_8Quit.jpg
Sounds good so far. I wouldn't judge any blood rings unless they are really obvious at 7 days. I have already confused a vein for blood ring on eggs that are hard to see in. I usually don't candle until day 10 because the veins are much stronger and easy to see visually by then. Good luck with the hatch. Jody
