Did my candle, 2 blood rings (confirmed by cracking) and one with veins and another with a moving black dot. The rest were all pretty clear, no obvious veining, but nothing saying they were not alive. Down to 13, 8 BSL and 5 EE.
The one with the blood ring I had accidentally put upside down, (
) it was a very round egg. BUT, when I cracked it, I could see eyes on the embryo! Sad, but very cool. The other blood ring was just a ring and no baby. Sorry, I didn't get pics of the dead ones. On another EE, there was a light ring ish thing, but I left it as I was not sure that it was not veins.
The one with definite veining is a EE, the mover is a BSL.

Dead eggs with hard to see on camera rings:
It's ALIVE!!!!
Overall, I was hoping for some more life signs, but it didn't turn out terrible either!
@Bubbles12345 I have one egg that was too round to know which end was up. I candled it to find the air cell before putting it in the incubator.
I am happy for your surviving eggs, and that you are being so blase about them. Don't count on that every time! There are going to be times that you just won't be able to stop candling!

I put that together primarily for your benefit, since I knew you were looking to make a change. My run's covered, as well; a tarp over fencing wire. Since the tarp extends pretty far down both sides, I thought rain wouldn't be an issue unless it was raining sideways. I did notice that a little snow had collected at the mouth the other day when we got hit with that 20"+ blizzard, which was blowing 17 different directions at once!
