Is seeing an air pocket mean good news?

I wouldn't throw them away...

Did you check the fertility on any before you set the eggs?

Did they come from your own flock?

We’ve got 20 chickens of all different breeds but yes the eggs are from them. It’s impossible to know if theyre fertile when it could be any of the other birds of the same breed. But like more breakfast we see them fertile every 1 in 4 or so

Dark. No light to that side

 

[zhutson789]

Can you get pictures so we can help you?

I’ll have to do that next time I do it

This is pretty much exactly what it looked like. This isn’t my pic btw..

I think you are good so far then. Developing nice. If it was not in there it would be completely lit up like a lightbulb.

Ok. I was only hoping like 3-4 were good but we might be having 8...
