Hey everyone so I’m on third batch of eggs to incubate these ones I finally gave in after two infertile batches and had shipped so I’ve been nervous to get them to hatch. I followed everyone’s advice letting them sit for about 30 hours before putting in and had incubator on day and half prior. Someone suggested not turning for 2-4 days which I went about three days then starting turning. I’m super excited and nervous now because as suggested I didn’t candle until Day 8 and saw 4 out of 5 little tiny black dots veins and bounching around!!! Yeay!! I checked again just now day 11 and the four still look bouncy with veins and dot. I don’t want to mess with them again so I may not be able to post a better pic as my boyfriend took it and it may not be clear enough but right now this is all I have. Is this egg bad? By what day do I need to get it out so it doesn’t effect the rest ? Thanks

I'd start off by saying I'm hesitant to judge by candling and even more so by a single pic, but I can see development in there and it's early stages still. I'm not seeing a blood ring, which to me means "quitter". What I'd suggest you do is candle again tomorrow, which would give the egg two days to develop/change further and take a pic to compare, unless you can see signs of life during the second candling. Keep us posted, please. Oh and :fl!
 
Ok thanks for help. Yes there’s def development but it just doesn’t seem it matches the rest. I will candle again I’m nervous to candle too much I read somewhere shipped eggs to candle less stirring them up etc. I’m also nervous leaving any egg in that shouldn’t be I just hope it’s clear when time comes what to do - seeing pics is so dif then watching them in real life I’m still trying to get used to trying to figure all the parts out and what I should be seeing so thanks for the help
