Could be either with #10. Right now it’s important to sit back and let them do their thing. If 10 passed away you shouldnt have to worry about it because theres only a few days left so theres a pretty low chance it will affect the others, just leave it in there unless you’re certain its a goner, which would be hard to tell this late in incubation anyway. Try to resist candling too frequently. Youre doing great!

I can’t see the veins on 10 anymore but I thought that might be because they’re receding slowly for the hatch? Ugh so frustrating...

This is the hardest part....stop messing with them and just wait.

Trying, it’s so hard

How do I check for internal pipping though if I can’t open the bator? Wouldn’t I need to know so I can monitor when I need to start assisting?

Look thru the windows on top with a flashlight.....
....and occasionally check by opening top.

You'll have to use your best judgement....
....hard to do with no experience, but part of the learning curve.

Ooooh I like the window thing! Good thing I switched to the bator that had clear ones and not the scratched up ones lol

That's one of my favorite things about the Nurture Right incubators. Constant candling without danger.
This one had internally pipped.

Crazy...can you candle all of them or just the lucky few right next to the edge?
Hmmm...wonder if I can do that with my Incuview?

With the turner in, the outside ring of eggs is super easy, because you position them fat end out, so they roll properly. The center ring is more difficult, but with duck eggs being so translucent, I can usually see in them too.
But at lockdown, you take the grid out, so I position them where I can still see them.

I want to get this incubator here, looks cool like that Nurture Right 360... but has increments of (0.1) instead of the dumb (0.5) increment adjustment of the 360! Although it doesn't have a humidity gauge, Looks cool, but I wonder how good of a hatch rate you can get though as not many folks have used them, it seems. Admit it, it looks awesome!!

What's the trick to this? Do you need a more powerful light? I have a Brinsea Maxi II which is clear and tried this. I couldn't see anything in the eggs at all.
