I have found that if they are Dark Brown, like the ones I just set, then its best to wait till day 7 or even 10 to see much,,,,, some of mine are dark enough that I don't pull clears till lockdown. I looked at my Duck eggs last night and ended up pulling 3 bloodrings on day 6... the rest had beautiful spider veins and lots of movement!

I agree with you...I don't bother to candle my eggs till day 11 or 12. I like to be absolutely certain there is no development before I remove them.

I ended up with 7 out of 8, #8 never pipped and when I candled, the membrane had already collapsed. These 4 were ready for the brooder, and the other 3 are getting their bearings in the bator still.

Cute babies, Mine are doing well, I am hoping to mix my 3 day olds with older chicks soon. They do have a bantam babysitter from the older chicks, so that is nice, their boxes are side by side, and I will cut a hole and put wire in between so they can see each other.

My very last setting was not fertile, my eggs I got from the store were not, and my own eggs were too long off the roosters, (I gave them away over 3 weeks now) I have nothing incubating, but I am getting close to going some where, and need a break from hatching.
