I totally agree on the porous eggs can be very fertile. I did an experiment a month ago where I took 4 VERY porous eggs that were 3 weeks old-put those suckers in bator and 3/4 grew! They were fine...

A porous egg looks like pigment is missing in eggs color. So A brown egg will look like it has round circles,speckles all over it-but not the egg color a more transluscent shade-don't confuse this with a speckeled egg that has an extra coloration added to it-

All my brown eggs have freckles except the green one

Yours may be a tinie tiny bit porous, but not bad at all

sorry my camera is being stupid and can't take good candling pictures right now

Oh no, keep them going! Porous eggs can hatch

thanks, I'm going to the barn and make a candler, saw one on utube that looked like it would work pretty good.

Well the candler I made doesn't work any better than the flashlight I was using. I made it from a coffee can, and it worked, but it got so hot, after about 6 eggs I had to turn it off cause I couldn't hold onto it. I went back to the flashlight.
This first pic is the flashlights I used to candle with, both work ok

This pic is of a speckled egg I was asking about in another post.
