ok so im worried about one egg though, it was the best grower but now it occupies 1/2 the egg and the other half is clear with veins, but i see see the chick kicking so its alive?

 

[Shellz]

Yes!!! That's great!
I have one pipping now & occasionally cheeping! Ah, the suspense!
Don't know when I'll be back on here, hubby is feeling neglected.
Have a great weekend everybody! Hope you all have healthy, beautiful chicks soon!

so is that bad or not?

 

[Shellz]

Not bad. Sounds good to me!

 

[Jmanvanatta]

but its half clear but kicking dose that mean it is small?

but its half clear but kicking dose that mean it is small?

what day are you on? and can you get a candle pic and post it?

 

[Sally Sunshine]

Yes its alive if its moving btw, lol
look at this pick from the hatching 101 article

see how the embryo grows.....it wont fill the egg up right away, close to day 18 it may fill most of the egg EXCEPT air cell and sometimes even into the aircell.

​

Candle day 14 is to determine growth, weigh, pencil mark air cell size and dispose bad eggs.
It will begin to look pretty dark in there! Look for movement.
You should again see some good veining at the lighter spots of the egg.
THIS is a video of a CANDLE at DAY 14!​
