I rarely see any on day 3. I look sometimes on day 4 but sometimes I need to go based on a different appearance in the egg. It looks like a shadow forms half way down. I still leave the eggs in until day 7-10 unless there is an obvious blood ring.
 
I've thrown eggs out on day 5-6 before that I didn't see development in but when I opened them up, there was a developing chick.
 
Unless I need room, or the eggs are stinky, I wait for day 10 and do chick or no chick. If there is a lump, i'm good to go, if not, toss. But even then sometimes I wait, im a wuss.
 
Okay, question....

After 3 days in the incubator, shouldn't there be some sign of veining?? Our control eggs (those we snagged from the pens before the chickens were sold) showed obvious veining at 3 days. ShellyGa's didn't show veining at 3 days or 6 days. Now Zookeeper's eggs show no sign of veining at 3 days.

???

I wait till Day 7 or even Day 10
 
Has anybody not gotten their eggs besides Winkler Farms, Madamwlf, and MaryRuth? (Mary, I'm working on getting eggs for you. My bantam hens are molting now (at least I think b/c there are feathers all over the pen)
 
Make that 3 dead chocolate chicks. The survivor went to sleep last night and didn't wake up.

Man.

This sucks.

That's almost a whole month's preschool payment in the trashcan....literally!

We really need a turnaround here.
