I candled my eggs...

We're on Day 6 here... I couldn't resist.

This is what I got from the two white eggs -

You can clearly see veining and an embryo (this is the cracked one! I'm really rooting for him). Sorry for the fuzziness. I'll try to ETA a video I took as well.

The brown eggs were harder to see into... the one EE egg, well that was darn near impossible.

But I have high hopes. I saw dark spots in all the browns, assuming they're little eyeballs, we're all good. I didn't see any bloodrings but I do believe I have one 'clear' egg.

YAY!!!!! Lookin' good!!!! Those EE eggs are AWFUL!!!! I have 4 in and get nothing on all of them!!!

Pffft the video is soooo clear. I just wish my camera would focus without the darn flash! What a pita. LOL

But I clearly saw little babies!!! Well, at least eyes and maybe the beginning of a spine or something similar. very adorable. I'm so excited now...

Well YouTube distorts everything, but here's the link:

That clip was really cool!!! What I do to help a little with focus when the flash is off is prop my elbows firmly before I take a pic. A tripod would be much better. Any hint of movement ruins it.

Did you try candling from the top of the egg. I don't know how you candle you eggs. I just use a flashlight. I candled my duck eggs from the bottom last night (day6) and I couldn't see very much, but when I candled from the top I could see very distinct veining and a couple of the ducklings are a lot bigger than I expected.

I went a took a picture of one of my eggs that I candled from the top. The picture is considerably darker that yours, but I can clearly see the baby duckling. My daughter was excited. I hope you can see in the picture what we can see in my hand.



This is one of the bigger ones. It is very hard to see with the picture so small. Sorry, I wish it was better.

Mine are hatching right now. Just watched one hatch. I have never seen anything so cool. I want to keep eggs incubating ALL the time! Congrats on your embryos!
