You got this!!

I'm sorry to hear that the others aren't looking so good. I'd try the nail polish thing. It can't hurt, and you'll know when/if the egg is dead, I'm sure.

You mentioned when you started this that you knew the pullet eggs were a gamble, so I hope you know that if they don't hatch it is not because of anything you've done.

Thank you! I just did the nail polish thing and will send photos once they load.

I fixed the eggs. I also decided to candle today because why not.

Next 2 photos are egg #2 skinny side down (so not air cell side). I see veins and perhaps the embryo but cannot see movement.

40g 9/7 is egg #1. Air cell side down.

Next 3 photos are egg #5. I'm pretty sure that's the blood ring of death I see there. Can anyone help me confirm please? It was very badly cracked on both sides.

Next photo is egg #6 air cell side down

Then 2 photos of egg #4 air cell up, so skinny side facing the light. It's the only eggs I can see through other than 2. Both are on the greener side unlike the blue eggs I absolutely cannot see through.

Last photo is #4 air cell.

Forgot to add, these are on day 9. Please help me confirm about #5 because I'm pretty sure it looks like a blood ring but don't want to kill an innocent egg.
