lol absolutely my wife helped and temp is holding great thanks for the advice I love that the egg in question from yesterday had a little movement it's like we had to wake it up then it moved a little on its own. Godiva nice setup hope your temp evens out

Here is a much better video than the one we posted yesterday, this is proof the slide projector really works on dark eggs, pics don't do it justice but watch this video and you'll see what I am talking about!

This video is way better I'm going to take the other one of it's pretty much pointless because nothing moves lol

I cracked open the egg with blood ring and also a clear one. I have pics but didn't want to gross anyone out LOL

I culled 4 eggs today, down to 36 that look promising.

I won't get grossed out it's all a learning experience please post!!

I agree with the learning experience, which is why I wanted to know what it looked like inside. I figure seeing inside will make me better at identifying what I see when candling.

Here is the clear egg - it has been in since 9/23 (5 days) - nothing, nada development

The blood ring egg I posted a candling pic of last night, it has been in since 9/21 (7 days) - it appears to have begun development but stopped within a day or two. (it's the dark spot in top of left side shell)

Guess I should mention that my 9yr old daughter broke them open which is why they are so poorly cracked

this is all part of her 4-H project so she is hands on learning it all too. These little suckers are tough to crack, the inside membrane almost has to be pulled apart after the shell cracks off.
