INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

Really? the test says this:

Eggs Are Judged By Observation With Results As Follows:
1. Sinker= Dud, Never Developed
2. High Floater (like A Fishing Bobber Without Weights) Say 45% Or More Of The Egg Above The Water Line= Dud, No Development Or Fetal Demise, Likely Rupture Of Internal Membranes Causing The Egg To Dehydrate.
3. Low Floater= Viable Egg, Development Full Term
4. Low Floater Rockin And Rollin! This Is The Live Embryo Moving Inside The Egg= Definate Viable Egg!

NEVER MIND I see she said it low floated OHHHHHH MY BAD smack me now EVERYONE

edit no she didnt... I shut up now

Other than the wording, isn't that what I said?

If they're undeveloped, they'll sink. If they died prematurely, they'll float high. If they're good, they should float low, like this.

all of mine looked like those....none of them sank and none were high at all....so I'll wait it out..if they are underdeveloped and not dead how long can they go? Like if my temps ran low throughout incubation could they survive extended time in the incubator?

They look like they are floating at a slight angle. That is a good sign, showing that the air cells are drawing down a little. If your temps were low and you've corrected, your hatch may be delayed a few days, but the risk of defective chicks has increased. Any that hatch out on their own in the next few days should be okay.

Does candling show viable blood vessels?

For the record... in case my screen name doesn't give it away (sound of a rooster)... I'm a hard-headed male. LOL!!!
