I candled the eggs I have in my homemade incubator for the second time last night and saw something unusual....at about day 4 they 2 had showed signs of development veins etc. Last night end of day 7 they are obviously further along ( I even saw movement in one of the two) but this is what I see...
Two eggs have started and have the same development shown in this picture. They appear to be only developing in one half of the egg. Is this a concern??? Like I said, this is the first time using my homemade incubator, temp is pretty much between 98.8 and 101.4 and humidity is around 60 consistantly, and I turn them 3 times a day. The only thing I can think of was the day I set them we lost power after 3-4 hours and it came on 5-6 hours later and was up to temp before the night. And I didn't turn them that day so as to not lose the heat in the bator..... This is only my second hatch (I have more eggs also under a broody right now) and second time really candling a hatch, and I only did it at 8 days and nearer the hatch date before............what do you think??
Mildly concerned.........
