Well I built my homemade 'bator (yes I'm entering the 'bator contest when I get my page done) and I tossed 4 eggs in it to see if it would help stablize the temps. The eggs were from my leghorn and were in the fridge for at least a week. The 'bator temps are stabilized and I left them in just to see if anything would develop. Three of them look like they have a blood ring and I thought #4 was also dead. I looked closer and there is a small mass about as big as a dime. I turned it to try to get a better look and it started to wiggle!?!? Do embryo's move this early? It's day 7. I hope I didn't kill it by tipping it.
 
Yep they definitely move on day 7.

That's soooo cool!!!!!!!!
I'm going to wait a couple more days and recandle. It didn't have all the veining like what the pictures show. I just saw one "ring" then I spotted the mass.

Maybe the others are viable and I just didn't see the mass hmmmm should I recheck now????
 
I would wait a couple of days and candle again. In a few days you definitely should be able to tell if the eggs are good or not.
 
Oh they definitely move on day 7. Mine has. Love the hatching thing. Very addictive.
