Today is Day 5. I just have a flashlight to use for candling, so not the strongest of lights, so was hard to see clearly into the egg. When I really looked hard, I could faintly see some veins ( I hope) On 2 for sure, I only looked at 6 , as the other eggs are blue and blue/green, not real see through.
the one egg is very porous looking and I saw no air sac, so I would assume this would be a dud. Should I wait until at least day 10 though before I start throwing out bad ones?
In another egg , there was a small dark circle at the bottom of the egg, kind of floating, I'm thinking that one too is no good.
In two there was a darker mass, with some spider veins (once again, I think I could see them, but, the light I don't think is bright enough)
I've been browsing candling threads, and they all seem so obvious at day 5, I guess the power of the light would have alot to do with it.
I also have a laser pointer , it is 1 mw. haven't tried it on all.
I am worried that I have a bator full of duds.
also, the flashlight kicked off some heat, will that hurt the embryo ?
