I never ever candle eggs, as far as i am concerned they are either fertile or not, the minimum time possible for heat loss if my goal..Not long now

If you don't candle eggs then you don't know if it's developing or not, right?
Cause I want to get a bator sometime but I won't want to throwing away any eggs that I think are not developing. And I was wondering why everyone does that?
Is it alright to just leave them in there and know at the end?

Congrats to you guys for setting eggs!!! Wish I could join!!!

If the eggs dont hatch it was meant to hatch, could be 100 different things and none of which i could have altered, if my Bator settings are correct thats all i can do. I leave the eggs in for 5 days after the first hatch to give anything that developed slower due to heat distribution for instance a chance to hatch. How many people pick up a broody and candle their eggs? Let nature take its course its all part of the fun in my eyes.

4 of my 11 quail have hatched so far. Every one else is going into lockdown late Friday night early Saturday morning. Hope everybody gets lots of little fuzzy butts.
