I open my incubator during "lockdown" all of the time. The eggs will be fine.

Question? Sorry to interfere with your original post. What type of flashlight does everyone use to candle their eggs. I use a LED flash light but I cannot see through the dark brown or green eggs. If you could post a picture and if you remember where you got it I would appreciate the help. I think I have a few quitters my hatch date isn't until April 1st. This is my second attempt at incubating and my first time was not a good experience I have 11 in the incubator now and from what I can see there is development. Thanks again...

I usually use my cellphones flashlight it works perfectly fine. A picture of the shell would help because some dark browned shells can't really be seen through. Also, when you candle, what do u see?

Most of the eggs are about 1/4 to half dark towards the top of the egg. When I first candled them I did see veins but not in all of them as they were too dark.

What day are you and do you atleast see the yoke of the egg when candling?

I am on day 10, I could see one yolker which I removed. I assumed the dark area on all the other eggs was the chick not the yolk, but yes I see a bigger blob inside. I guess if they absorb the yolk the yolk is still there, can you tell I am new at this lol. Thanks for replying and giving me some advice I truly appreciate it.
