Redinator's First Hatch-Along

Molé

Is that a name suggestion?

Not from me but if someone else wants it. I’m sticking with my Frank Zappa theme

At 7 days there should be veins in all that are developing. Those that don't have veins are probably no good. The speckling is just the egg shell. I see it in different eggs here sometimes.

Thanks, that's what I figured, but this is only my second time hatching/candling. I'll check the questionable ones one more time in a few days just be sure I didn't just miss them, lol.

Definitely worth waiting another week, especially since these are purchased eggs.

They were from a local seller and fairly cheap for Ayam Cemani eggs. She's new to breeding as well and offered to replace them once I mentioned it to her. I told her I'll give them a few more days before I give up on them, but I don't plan to hatch another batch.

She said once the chicks are old enough, depending on the male/female ratio she'd swap males for females.

That's very nice of her.

I prefer that option to getting my money back, especially if I end up with all males which would be the way my luck would go, lol.

I'll be candling Pot's egg tomorrow . . gotta keep the suspense going,

@redinator I agree with @oldhenlikesdogs I'm not seeing any veins in these eggs yet. But I'd go at least several more days before making any judgement. I usually go to about day 12 and then pitch the duds or bloodrings. Don't incubate duds for the entire 21 days as they will go rotten cooking in there.
