Hey! I just HATCHED! I was checking my post and there it was. Thats cool.

That is cheering me up. Thanks to all of you for your help. Nice to see I'm not alone.

I candle at day 7 and if they are clear, which you can definetly tell by then, i throw them out. If they have something in their but it looks cloudy, I usually hang on to them till the next candling day. If there is a blood ring, i throw it out.

Can anyone tell me what a blood ring really looks like? The blk/wht pics are not enough for me to beable to tell. That is with candling it. Thanks

Here is a good example...

 

[Chicky Tocks]

Another example of a bloodring - yes, they can and most often do go around the circumference of the egg as seen here. In fact, that's the only way I've ever seen them in my experience.

That was a great example. Thanks. I am learning sooo much from all of you.

 

[Soaring Chicks]

Thanks.

1lpoock - I do not have any that look like that.

Chicky Tocks - That is what it looks like. It circles the middle of the egg. Very well defined red line. There really is no other red anything that can compare to that one red line in the egg. It is the only one like that.
So I would say it is safe to say it is a goner and toss. Everyone agree with that??

 

[Chicky Tocks]

If it looks like that, it very well may be a goner. I have left them in for a few days more just to be absolutely certain. If you do this and don't see any other veining or movement, you're probably safe to toss it.

Thanks. I will try candling it one more time and see. I'll wait on that one to day 18? If I can wait that long.

Hey! I grew up again. I'm in the brooder now! Wish I had my chicks there too.
