I candled an egg last night, was not supposed to,

day 15 and it slipped out of my hands and got a small dent. It did not leak or bleed so I put it back.

Lavender Orpington egg.

Ahah I know I put them back into day, and they were a bit more active!

will fumes bother it?? I have an egg that had a visible chunk size of a used pencil lead and about as long on an egg but you don't see it unless over the light do you think that is a shin shell will be more like a crack.. just wander if thin shells can make bad eggs.

This late in the game I am going to do nothing, I thought about the nail polish, but that's more if there might be a leak. Dent is close to the aircell so I am just not going to do anything, not going to turn anymore either. I do have moisture in incubator so it won't dry out. Thanks though.

I try not to set eggs that have cracks. I have before, and used nail polish, but the eggs still did not make it.

discovered another hiccup.. my dates are on the ends of my eggs and they lay on the side. I have a range of dates and some are going to be checked on the three days you arnt supposed to turn eggs wouldn't be such a problem if I didn't have to look through them to see ones that are to be checked for groth... or does it matter about lock down a few ive read no biggy others swear by it.

You don't have to candle on a schedule, but it would be better if you could turn them. That's hard to do while in lockdown, which is why many people use separate hatchers.

I do have a good incubator, so I don't plan on moving it, I may in a few more days move it to a hatcher, but I am waiting for a couple of chicks I have to get their sealegs, before I put them in with the week olds. Then I can snag their lamp and put it in the hatcher

Your bundle of fuzzies looks a lot like my bundle of fuzzies! I have no idea what mine are, many feathered feet and puffy cheeks, some with stripes, some with spots. Some gray, some cream, some caramel colored.
