Hey Jake, MamaMarci,Comptons, and Greenriver,
I just candled last night, Day 10, and was a little disappointed that i didn't candle sooner.All the embryos were pretty well formed so I really missed seeing the little dark blob with all the veins looking like a spider. i was happy to see big developed blobs that took up about a third or so of the egg.
i also observed the air space and marked it on all the eggs with a pencil. Some of the Red Sussex eggs have irregular shaped air spaces all the others are pretty normal circles to ovals. Any of yours have irregular shaped air spaces? Any significance to this phenomena? only one of the 36 eggs that I set seemed not to develop at the same rate as the others and it had a dark ring around the egg which was one dark vein. the embryo was much smaller so i removed that egg. My EE eggs i couldn't even see anything besides the airspace, the light would not penetrate through those shells for some reason.i think my candler could be a bit weak.
Humidity has varied from 35% down to 20% it has been quite dry here. I have started to humidify our cabin a bit by boiling water and it has raised it back into the 30s. Temperature has been solid between 99 and 100.
i would love to hear how your setting is going!!!!
Scott
