New Group of eggs

[kittykat2003uk]

I have 24 new eggs that were set on monday afternoon, I have just candled a couple, but cant see anything but the yolk? Should i be seeing something more by now? getting really worried

you should be able to see a very tiny black dot with red spider web veins coming from it on day 7. Before then it is nearly impossible to see anything. Hope that helps!!!

Here is a thread with some excellent candling progression pics.

i am still very new to candling. I definately wait til at least day 7 if not more. Then you should be able to tell.

Just looked at the thread and at 76 hours there is a picture of a few faint veins but mine dont have that

i am so nervous this time as the last time the eggs were free from a friend but this time there is about £80 worth of eggs in it

Dont panic until day 10. It is hard to see unless you have a really high powered flashlight.

I am using the Brinsea Ova View & Ova scope Candler

Here is a picture of a candler I made. I was looking for cracks in the shells before I put the eggs in the incubator.
