First Time Egg Candler Scared!

[WVduckchick]

Yes, it looks empty. I will float and eggtopsie and post pics so I can find out what went wrong, it was alive & moving when i started lockdown. Thanks guys!

Be sure and wait for the wiggle when you float it!

Coleson how is it going? How was the last candling before lockdown?

Sorry guys, I have been at school all day . I will be home is about 30min. I waited until day 18 to throw out any of my 17 shipped eggs. I had three quitters and 6 non-developed. So I had 8 goods. about 50%. Out of the 8, 2 looked a little small but I kept them in because I dont know how to look for late quitters. But I am think at least 6 will hatch.

You can, it won't hurt, but don't get too concerned yet. Many people don't even see pips until day 20-21.

Put it back in the incubator and wait! Should be no more than a couple of days for results.

If non of the eggs pip tomorrow (day 21) what should I do? Any ideas on how to induce hatching?

I would candle before I did anything, but I would still wait over 24hrs from now to even think about that. I think inducing could endup killing the chick. It needs to absorb the yolk.

I am going to wait. It is still day 20.If I dont see anything happening on day 22 I will post back. Maybe when I wake up I will have a chick!
