I NEED someone to make me take these eggs outa the incubator!!! Spring seems to come and go every other day here this year and I just could not stand it when the girls gave up on these eggs (shoot I shoulda listened to those hens) instead I took them in and set up the incubators! In my defense we are also talking about some prime goose eggs here! Anyway it's been plenty of time and candling is not going well on alot of them, but I just can't seem to MAKE myself take them outa the bator! all stems from a few years back when candling went terribly wrong and I threw out an egg with a LIVE BABY in it, try as I might it was just to soon and the poor lil guy had been murdered, BY ME!!! so now I'm stuck, please help me!!!!!

How long have they been incubated? I always like to allow eggs 3 or 4 days past 'due' date in case of chilling (eggs left by mother and saved) or by possible low temperatures in the incubator.

they have been in for 18 days now. problem is mass/chick seems to be in 1/2 of egg with no apparent veining thru out egg (don't know if that makes sense)

oh, and some appear to have no air cell (maybe)
