Hey, I married into some chickens this summer and my husband since his new wife has become bird crazy bought her an incubator for Christmas. I have been haunting your forum for awhile.
The eggs have been in there for eight days. Two eggs I know are good because I can see movement! Very exciting. They are my brown shelled eggs. Now for my green tinted eggs, two I think I should pitch because when I candle the shell is full of light spots which I read is bad. Half of the egg is in shadow and the other half is light. Now the other three eggs in there the shells are fine just half of the egg is light and the other half is in shadow. Is it just harder to see through the green tinted eggs? Or are they bad? I dont want to just throw eggs out in the snow, but I would rather not have them blow up in my incubator either.
Thanks
