Kayla’s Hatching Journey!

[HuffleClaw]

Hmmm.....never really heard this one, I spin the egg all the time when I candle and certainly don't keep in the 'exact' position. I also don't candle hourly. I candle Day 0-7-10-14-18 and trace the air cell every time I candle.

Porous egg shell, sometimes they hatch fine others not so much. Have had quite a few of those, but never recorded exact ratio on hatched or not. Nice to have a leghorn egg, sooo easy to candle, hope that one develops for you.

No make up more beautiful IMO.

Oh, forgot to add these.

but best of luck Kayla!

I never heard of that either, @aart ...I turn my eggs while candling, and don't always return them to the same spot they were in the turner.
I don't think it hurts the egg if your gentle, heck, a hen turns them alot more and at different angles and not particularly gentle when they do it. Main thing is to not keep them out of the incubator too long! I candle at day 7 or 8 then at 14 and at 18 sometimes 21 but I'm candling pheasant and quail eggs not chicken. Most have incubation period of 24 days. Only have a handful of pheasants that have a 21 to 22 day period.

So I wasn’t breaking the rules?

Thanks! Looking forward to finding out how those double-yolkers do! And all the others of course!
