And one more thing! This article has amazing photos and shows why the more developed eggs are harder to see into. So don't give up!

O m g. Totally gave me a new idea. There is a neighborhood down the road that has wild peafowl.

I can see you now lurking behind the bushes stocking the birds.

What day are you on? Mine have become more and more difficult to see into clearly as the babies get bigger and there are more and more veins blocking out light. Day 3 was easy. Day 14 I could barely see anything but a dark mass. It eventually wiggled though! So I know it is ok still.

Also if it helps at all I just gently moved mine around on the light until I found an angle where I could see something. Not sure this is quite correct but it worked (and my eggs are blue so a little harder to see into than cream or white but probably easier than dark brown).

Oh oh! And Ron also suggested using a second light (one at the top and one at the bottom of the egg). Maybe try that and see if it helps.

Will try both moving around and 2 flashlights, I am on Day 13. Thank you

LOL me too! I think it is impossible not to worry! At least we have BYC for moral support

Thank goodness for BYC, although it was easier when I didn't candle and just waited 21 days to see what I got.
