Opinions keep or throw

[AmyLynn2374]

I went back and gave it another look with fresh eyes and if I had to judge by those pics (and I wouldn't base my decisions on this judgement) I would say 1 blood ring 2,3,5 early development with 4 being a possible as well. 6 clear, 7-10 I can't tell 11 possibly a quitter or bacteria in the egg-I''d watch that one carefully if you leave it in. 12 I can't tell from the pics either. I'm very interested to see the outcome and if there is further development and if you decide to eggtopsy and toss what you find, so please keep us posted.

I will keep you posted I'll keep all the eggs but if I see or smell anything fishy I'll throw them

Sounds like a good plan.

Well thanks for the advice I really hope at least one hatches because I'm sick and tired of just waiting for the chicks to come to the store in March and theirs no fun not getting to see where they came from

 

[animalwild]

So these are the eggs you think have the most chance of hatching

2,3,4,5

I'll post pics again tonight if any have dramatically changed

This is one of the eggs from my last hatch at day 5 of incubation. Which is similiar to what I think I'm seeing in your eggs I see as having development.

See not all my eggs were laid on the same day and my incubation temp is hard to regulate my temps are always going up and down so it could be because of that

Temp fluctuations can delay development and severly lower the hatch rate-if they make it to hatch. It's best not to deal with staggered hatches if you can help it, especially without a few good hatches under the belt. Eggs can be laid on different days and stored, but should be set to incubate (ideally) at the same time for the best chance of hatchability.

Okay I'll keep that in mind for next time
