New to Incubating

[KimHoward]

I am new to the incubating. I currently have 11 eggs in the process and today 7/11 is day 12. I have 3 eggs and you can see the embryos!!!! WOW!!! I have questions about the other 8, because they don't look like the 3 growing. I have googled and googled bad/dead eggs and the pictures do not look the same as the eggs in question. Therefore, I am not sure if I should wait it out and NOT throw them away. Because there is still hope that maybe they can thrive.

If you are not sure I would certainly just wait a few more days to know for sure about them. There are some good pics here in this article ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...ion-through-incubation-of-chicken-eggs.47879/

I don't toss any until day 14. Some will fool you, especially if you are newer to incubation like me.

Update, only 2 of the 11 eggs hatched!!! I am super proud of myself to accomplish at least 2 little baby chicks. I did bury the rest of the eggs, I thought that would be best for them.
