Incubating Shipped Silkie Eggs

Day 10 Candling Photos
I’ve labelled each of the 12 eggs to make it easier to see, some are obviously bad eggs but I look forward to seeing what people think

Awesome photos! I would say definitely 6, 7, 10, & 12 are not viable. Can you see movement in any of them? Very egg-citing! Can wait for the outcome in about 11 days time

Would 8 be considered "mottled"?

That’s what I thought, but wasn’t sure about 8, some of them were moving more than others but it was great to see.

Do you think it’s viable?, as I’ve spotted there’s actually a small crack in the other side, there is some dried yolk covering it but I’ve heard that they can explode, so might have to take it out.

Oh dear, if there is a crack I would remove it. Better safe than sorry....

Very eggcited to hear u see movement

Thankyou, removed the eggs that aren’t viable and cracked them to find I was right and they were nothing at all, pleased I didn’t make any mistakes. Around 10 days to go now

Day 15 Candling of the remaining eggs
I’ve just realised some of the photos are poor quality and are hard to see, 6/7 look good and have movement
I was always unsure about Egg 4 but I’m now pretty sure it died earlier on in the incubation.

Wow eggciting! Just another week. Look forward to seeing chickies!
