Candling results on Day 8
We didn't toss anything but found some that look to be either infertile or early quitters, one that looked like a blood ring and two of the darkest eggs that had just dark masses in them (could those be scrambled yolks?). We are going to candle again at 10 or 12 days and confirm.
*R* eggs 1-16, percent fertile 44%

somewhat disappointing as we have gotten used to MUCH better % but this IS our first hatch with shipped eggs and being marans and (some) so dark there are some we might thing are ? and could be fertile, i guess. I am happy we at least seem to have some fertile from each of the shipments.
