I don't tell newbies to candle to day 5 but above is a day 2 you see the red circle. below is day 3 you may see a red line...

Day 5 is below looks like a spider, day six you can see an eye dot.

below is day 8 it starts to get dark. don't candle again until day 18


Day 18 the whole egg should be dark just a sloping air cell with veins near the top visible., after that do not candle any more just let hatch.

My home made candler is not strong enough to see much more than the air sack and shadows of whatever lol

I just use the light on my iPhone ahah

 

[leedyfeathers]

I tried that app once the flashlight might work.. have to try it.

 

[leedyfeathers]

Now I remember.. my cell does not suport those flashlight apps it uses the screen instead.. thats no brighter than the bulb I use.

 

[randerson846]

Awww the bulb in my Phone is reasonably strong, but I might gets torch to check them just to be sure,

Ok I have candeled the 5 eggs, that I set last Wednesday and only one is fertile, from what I can tell all the others just look like normal eggs, and there is one with the spider thingy inside

stuffed animal and these little plants are great because they move with light. this chick had to spend a week with out roomies, and was okay with it.
