Great job!Out of the remaining eggs, we were able to hatch and brood 6 healthy baby chicks who just needed a little more time!

What do you mean by candle. I’m ignorant of a lot of poultry talk. I could also google it but it defeats the purpose of being social. Thanks!Definitely candle the remaining eggs, when you believe they’re finished sitting. Congratulations!I’ve had a few girls leave the nest to tend to hatchlings, while they had a few eggs left that were a little behind in incubation. I finished their hatches in the incubator.

Thank you.Always feel free to ask questions. We learn so much from each other.
“Candling” is when you shine a bright light into an egg to check for fertility, development, and flaws. Many incubators have a built-in candler, or you can use a bright flashlight in a darkened room. I hope this helped.![]()
You’re very welcome.Thank you.
