FEBRUARY Hatch-A-Long, come join in!!

[chickette]

HI CowgirlJules,yes the candeling was working well and I could clearly see all the veins.Wow it was amazing and I was really excited that the fertile eggs I bought were all good ones but the temp went down yesterday to 76-78 and now I have some concerns! So when I candel tonight in the dark of my bathroom I was wondering should I be looking for a clear egg or dark mass or no veins, to spot a dead egg?

Thanks for the reply

Hubby and I were standing around talking, and we heard peeping coming from our incubator.

So, we should be on time for our hatch here in a day or so. We have four in lockdown now. I'm so excited
