*Edited to add my pictures, even though I could not get my camera to do any better than this.*
Since this is my very first time with the incubation process, I think I need some help deciding. I think I may have a couple of eggs in the incubator that have stopped developing. On day 8, I noticed no movement and I THOUGHT I saw a very thin blood ring and a few blood spots further away. I do see the embryo and it matches the size for this stage. I stopped seeing the typical spider web blood vessels in these 2 eggs. This evening will be day 10. I'm still not seeing movement like in the others. So far I haven't been able to make myself take them out. I've heard anything from you should take them out right away for fear of the egg exploding to people only candle once the whole time so they may not even know. If these have died, I have 4 remaining eggs. I was planning on posting pictures, but I just can't get the picture to show what I am seeing. Basically, how long can they stay in the incubator without fear of exploding so I can check them again until I'm 100% sure they are not viable. I'm sure this would be a no-brainer for the experienced hatchers. I just didn't expect incubating eggs to be so emotional for me, wow! Lol
Thanks!!
