Have you candled ALL of the eggs yet to pull the clears?

Not yet.

Not yet.

 

[ShrekDawg]

I know.

I’ve just been so busy with the fish this week and then also I was watching Levi last night so I haven’t had time and kinda decided I’d just wait till day 10 (tomorrow) to do it but I think I’ll just do it now haha

I did add water earlier today though and also last night.

Both the hygrometers were agreeing so I realized I’ve been just assuming they’re way off but they may not be, one was pretty close when I checked the first time, so I added some just in case hah I do think they’re slightly off though but either way, it’s not too high. Just didn’t want it to be too low if it was right ha

It can't possibly take more than a minute to candle each egg to see if they're developing or not.

What are the gauges reading?

Anyway.... I found our SUPER bright flashlights. They may be too big to put my hand around/block the light though and/or maybe too bright... kinda blinded me LOL

But they’re so bright I can candle in the kitchen with all the lights on and still see everything.

This was just an egg from the fridge not a real one and a white one not darker one but still. I was impressed lol

Yeah I know but I wanted to be careful and take my time haha and I’ve been running in and out and back and forth all over the place and to multiple stores multiple times a day every day this week lol

And they were both reading 18 but now I think like 31 and 29 last time I checked.

Found! My dad ordered two on Amazon a while ago. They’re practically spot lights not really but we can shine it all the way across the yard on a clear night lol and I think they were only like $20. So great deal. If you can manage to not shine it in your eyes/stare directly at it like I have multiple times.

Now I wish I’d never candled!!! So many clears and blood rings and early quitters I think

Especially disappointing when just a few days ago there was so much life and I was so excited to go take pics/videos of them moving around. But they’re all either dead or too dark to see into

Although I swear I saw some moving so maybe I’m just mistaken.

Or maybe I drowned them all by upping the humidity today and yesterday.

Bator has also been running pretty cool lately, about a degree, idk why. I tried to leave it alone as it sometimes goes back up and the other thermometers say it’s right.

Would that cause them to die?

I feel like I messed something up here cause otherwise why would they all have just died?

 

[ShrekDawg]

Here’s some pics I took. Maybe I’m wrong but I really don’t think I am.

Number 2

Number 8

Number 4

I think this one is still 4 but I’m really not sure. Might be 3

I think these two are both number 3

Number 12
