So, I candled my eggs again today :/ and I actually saw some veins forming! One thing, though, the yolk is at the top of the egg around the air cell. I'll try to post pics............

VEining its ALIVE AND living!! YAY!!!

I just checked them again! One of them has a red spot with lots of vains around it and some or most of the others are starting to vain!

So I candled ALL of them just now and I can see veins and/or spots in 8 out of 14! I really hope that they hatch!

Hope you have a great hatch!!!!! Mine were on day 7 last night and I know I saw actual movement in 3 of mine!!!!!! I am going to get another flashlight that is brighter, because I think that is my problem with being unsure, because even though I saw movement I didnt see alot of veining. I have one that gives off 30 lumens of light! I think I am going higher than 60. If you have a really weak flashlight, it might help to get a stronger one!

Candled again today! Lots of the eggs have veins and lots of them even have bodies and I can see their little eyes! I'm so so so so excited! Can't wait til they (hopefully) hatch!

I just ordered my bator it should be here by the end of the week. Then some blue black splash plymouth rock eggs are coming next week. It will be my first hatch and i am sure i will go crazy waiting. But thanks to everyone who posted on here you guys answered a lot of my questions and gave me some good links for reference. I love BYC'ers.

Blue/Black Splash Plymouth Rocks sound cool I haven't seen that color yet

Ok got a question I know you guys have an answer. I've got a Little Giant Inc. with fan temp and humidity have been holding steady and we're getting near lockdown. My question is on raising the humidity there is not much room under the screen so what's the best way to go about it? I'll try putting in the second plug first then see where it goes but after that I'm not sure. If I add a sponge where should I put if?
