I'm so happy! First time incubating ever! I was really skeptical these eggs would do anything, as they were shipped through a pretty knarly snow storm that I was not expecting. Survived -20 degree weather!
Day 4 of incubation and I found at least 4 fetuses, hoping to see more. No blood rings yet either! Think I saw somewhere that if the baby has passed you should be able to see the blood ring by this day.
Now all I wanna do it candle the crap out of my eggs. The strength it is taking to resist candling them every couple of hours... My question is... How often can you candle your eggs without effecting their development? I have seen you shouldn't leave the eggs out of the container for longer than 30 minutes. And just candling all the eggs really quick dropped their incubator temp by half a degree (celsius).
I want to look at my babies more, but I don't want to risk losing anymore than I probably will.
