I’m sure there is more just not sure because I can’t really tell but haven’t candled all of the as well

 

[Ewheeler]

I think maybe because of the dark specked eggs

It would be best to candle them all and remove at least the blank ones to make more room for the other eggs and prevent the bad ones from contaminating the good ones

What do people recommend for candling?

 

[Ewheeler]

Ok thanks for the information will try and candle them and see

Ulaidian, you can download an app on your cell phone and candle it, or use a flashlight. I bought a candler on ebay once but I found it was good as using a flashlight.

There's also a method I think it's called water candling where you see if the egg floats or sinks although I've never tried it before

 

[Ewheeler]

I found four that I could tell with flashlight that weren’t viable but not sure all the others have dark areas in the egg but not sure but took the four out

Windus the quail farm and hatchery here in fl I bought 50 for 20 bucks and had the rest from my Coturnix but figured I would hopefully get a decent amount of birds if I did that many

Oh no, hope the eggs are okay!
