Hey
) I didn’t do so well on my first hatch, but after about a year, I decided to try again.
Instead of Welsh Harlequins, I’ve decided to incubate 7 Blue Swedish ducks.
I learned a lot from the first batch, so I’m hoping for good results... I candled today. It’s day 5.
Some of my detached air cell eggs began developing.. but I’m having trouble distinguishing from what a blood ring is and what simple veins are on a few of them.
Any help?
images here:
Egg 1 ^ detached
^ egg 2 detached
^ egg 3... normal but saddled air cell
^ egg 4... normal, but the air cell is HUGE, saddled. Worried about the location in regards to how itll position for hatching..?
^ egg 5, with a loose air cell
^ egg 6
egg 7 is the only one with no.. prominent ring around the forming embryo? I didn’t see these last time... but perhaps it’s normal?
Can anyone tell me if these are going to be okay?
