Development

[Bornacentury2L8]

at what day should I be able to see development or movement when candling. .

 

[Nicola]

they develop at the same rate but depending on how dark the egg is wheather u can see or not

 

[Nicola]

you can see vaining at day 3 i tink im not doubly sure but someone else will give u a good answer

I can see viens in some eggs on day 3 but alot not till 4 or 5 days.

 

[Bornacentury2L8]

so when I candle on day 7, If I see nothing I should cull them. Right?

 

[Leah-yes I know I'm crazy]

It depends on what kind of shell you are dealing with as well as how powerful your light is. I'd wait till day 10 to make any culls.

I agree.
On darker eggs esp, it can be day 10 before you can see anything.
If you are new to candling it doesn't hurt to error on the side of caution.
As long as none of the eggs smell bad or are weeping fluid you could do a another candling at day 18, then it's really easy to tell if there is a chick in there.
They will basically fill up the egg except for the air cell.
