I saw that "how to tell if your egg is fertile" post here on teh boards so every time I have to crack an egg I have been looking, I have had out of a dozen only 2 eggs that didnt have that "bullseye" so the possibility that the ones I cannot see are not fertile. I have 8 hens... never know!

I just candled (day 6)

Chicken Eggs

2 clear
2 obvious veining
1 bouncing baby!

Duck Eggs

5 obvious veins

80% viable at this point

Out of 21 eggs. I haven't seen anything in about 6. I am still holding out hope for them. I havent candled Them in 2 days. I am hoping that I have just missed something.

Even 15 out of 21 is good for us beginners!

Good vein rates! Well, I'm not going to count the 5 unfertile eggs. Nothing I can do there. 4 were from my silkies, my alpha roo died 2 months ago, and mr. 2nd in command is kindof a bumbler. I don't think he quite knows what he's doing, LOL
OMG! I don't know what happened to me but I bid on BLRW's. Pretty chickens!

Well, I've got three Javas growing...one blood ring and quite a few detached air cells. I've got def. 5 silkies, possibly 6...others were clear.

What's a detached air cell?
