Need advice on my chukar hatching eggs

[MGG]

Update! I ended up assisting all of the ones left. To my relief (mixed feelings lol) the majority of them were dead early on or not fertile. There are a few that, had I assisted on day 23-25, we might have saved them. Live and learn & try harder next time

Thanks for the update! Sorry you had a tough hatch. It happens. Any pics of the babies? I've never seen chukar chicks before.

The breeder that sold me the eggs told me the shells are so thick it’s useless to candle. I have a thermometer in the bottom with the eggs and it’s reading very close to what the bator says and very consistent.

Candlers vary greatly in ability. I was able to find an LED candler that allowed me to successfully candle both quail and dark Marans eggs.

Do you have a link?

I purchased mine from Amazon after careful consideration of the highest rated LED candlers.
