Hi everyone! I have 6 frizzle eggs due to hatch 22nd of June. It's my first time hatching.

They are on day 5 and I candled them for the first time. If the yolk is moving freely that means they are quitters? I have two that are moving and want to check before I remove them. TIA

If you see veins most likely they are good. A quitter will have no veins and be smaller than what it should be. A clear the yolk will still glow yellow/orange.

Since you are only on day 5 and your first time I would give it till day 10 to be sure there is nothing there.

They are actually a pretty blue, well besides 1. But I love how they are neon green in pics. Lol

This is amazing how well you can candle these! Most of my quail eggs I can’t see in at all!
