Eggs Just Got Here And I’m Freaking Out!

[CluckNDoodle]

@CluckNDoodle and anyone else who has hatching experience, I’m candling and taking out all the dead eggs, could you help me ?

It's hard to tell from pictures but these do look like the blood vessels have receded. When you don't see the blood vessels anymore, what is left of the embryo will create a bunched up blob that more loosely moves around when you gently turn the egg.

So, they're dead? Thanks for the help

Yep! There's at least 8 live OEGB chicks as of today! I also had some white Leghorn eggs, and one of those is alive.

Yes, from the looks of it. If that's what you're seeing in person too. When you're unsure just put a question mark on the egg and check back in a few days.
