Im going to try to make something with the flashlights that I have and candle the eggs for real today. No guarantees though

After some quick arts and crafts with a toilet paper roll (THANK YOU @GreenJay !!!!! Also, ew, I totally didn't fish the roll out of a trash can. Why would I do that?!?!) I went out to candle. IT WORKED! I still can't see the embryo in all the eggs, but I can see a very clear air cell in all of them And they are nice and dark except for that air cell.
Here is the link to the video. For some reason I can only create shorts but that's fine with me.

Egg #2, Saffron, looks weird. The dark part that makes the outline of the air cell appears half light and half dark with a clear line between them. Is Saffron dead?

Clarity isn't great. You can just open YouTube, go to my channel and click on the video and it should be less blurry. Also, 15 views in 12 minutes is crazy.

Remind me what day they are on please.
I think it looks okay.

Here are some more photos from yesterday's candling. I only have photos of 5, 2 and 6.

Is the line on #2 the blood ring? It looks very strange.

Following! Good luck with your broody hatch!

I just had a 26 week old Olive Egger pullet go broody and she successfully hatched 4/5 eggs last week. My first time hatching as well. Kind of stressful but a lot of fun!
