This is a green egg in my incubator. Should hatch around the 24th.

I was in a mood yesterday and rechecked the eggs I marked for removal and there was still nothing happening so I tossed them. Down to 18 shipped eggs and I'm keeping an eye on a couple more that might be quitters. I saw movement in several of them though.

I can't see any veins in my red sex link eggs, I think I need a different candler. I was using the one that came with my incubator.

What do you use?

I got one from Amazon, this is similar to what I have. I use the rubber cap to narrow the beam of light and it shows the inside of the egg better than without it

PS- some of the brown eggs are still difficult to see. It depends on how dark the eggs are.

Mine are a medium brown with dark brown spots. I can see growth inside so I just judge by that.

Mine hatched... a day late. about 4 or 5 hatched. Not sure how long the temps were on the low side. Probably best I didn't eagle eye the temps because that leads to me tinkering.

Pretty much all you can do. I hatched quail a few times, I'm familiar with the issue

I am really starting to like white egg breeds every time I candle

There's a huge difference between my pink eggs, cream eggs and brown... The brown I see absolutely nothing besides a mass inside and the air cell. It's pretty disappointing.
