Careful, she may turn you into a newt.

So I have 4 eggs that are getting hand turned, and since I have the bator open anyway to turn them I've been candling my other eggs in the turner, I'm seeing veins and darkness in most of the eggs. A few eggs in the turner seem clear and I was wondering if they are clear and I take them out will it hurt the hand turned eggs to stick them in the clears' spaces? And if so when should I move them to the auto turner? Is Day seven too soon? Too late? I will check more thoroughly for clears/quitters on day 7.

you can move them when you want, but I dont take clears out until day 7. or if your wanting to just switch spaces I dont see an issue

I took the center of a toilet paper roll and taped it on my flash light. The roll is too big for my cochin eggs so I will have to shrink it down for them.

that saris does

Oh, it's been popular from day 1; some residents just leave town for a bit. Some of 'em got a real bad habit...called "working". Sure glad I ain't one of 'em.

The fridge hates me

Hey Sally

Wow, sorry to hear that. how'd they get it? (I will have to even look that up!)

I was an idiot. Some will argue I still am, but I found them at a flea market on a windy raining day. I was in a hurry, and quickly bought a pair without looking them over real closely. I threw them in a cage in the back of my truck and brought them home. When I unloaded them out of the truck to put them in my basement, I got my first good whiff of them. It smelled hideous. Once I set the cage down to take a closer look, I noticed one of the hens had bubbles in the corners of her sagging eyes. She turn her head up and would stretch her neck up real high, and her neck would swell with every breath. I listened for rales, but didn't hear it. Her nostrils started discharging thick fluid, and she obviously couldn't see very well because she pecked all over the feeder trying to eat. I initially thought it might be just a respiratory illness, but after researching all the symptoms... especially the horrible odor... it all pointed towards infectious coryza. Even though the other hen appeared to be okay, I knew she had already gone through the symptom stage, or was yet to. There's no cure for coryza, and birds are carriers for life... capable of passing the disease to any other birds they come in contact with. I wasn't going to risk my existing flock, so they had to go bye-bye. 

To answer your question... there were many birds in the cage that my two came out of. I'm sure all of those birds were infected, and probably every other bird on the owner's property. I didn't know the seller, and haven't seen him since. But when I do... hmmm 

oh no.... Sounds a little like the muck I got into with the roos I rescued, exept I didn't quarantine. I don't know why, but amazingly all the many problems were treatable. I can't belive how dumb I was!
Good thing it didn't get into your flock.
