Set Eggs August 25, anyone else?

How is everyone doing? I candled tonight (start of day 5 for me) and saw lots of veins!

Oh! I just candled and saw nothing but some dark spots.... still don't even know if they were fertilized. I'll keep crossing my fingers!

Hopefully you'll see something in the next few days! I had a lot of dark eggs that I couldn't see anything in of course.

I was trying to hold off until Day 7, but you've convinced me to go ahead and candle!

I am making myself get some chores done first . . . I'm a little nervous and excited! I will post my results in a while.

Okay, I candled my eggs. Only one (of 12) showed clear veins - it was a white egg. The others - ??? I think I saw a vein or two in a couple of them, and some dark spots, but I really don't know! The eggs from my own girl, Paprika, are brown and have thick shells - all I could see for sure was the yoke, didn't even see an air cell so maybe those aren't developing. None of them smelled bad, so hopefully they are still viable.

If all I end up with is 2 healthy chicks, I'll be happy - I don't want to end up with just one!

Thanks for sharing this adventure with me!

You can't always see veins this early. I had a batch of Orp that I couldn't see veins on until day 10 or so - I thought they were all duds than I had an excellent hatch!

I know how ya feel! My eggs are brown, could just be that. I'll certainly let them sit in that bator till they stink or it's been 25 days!

I set the 27th so I'm a little behind you all but close enough to tag along if that's ok. Set 12 of my own eggs, 10 millie fleur duccle and 2 coronation split sussex. And not to forget...12 bbs silkie eggs from "oldtimegator" and 18 bbs, white, and I think a buff or 2 silkie eggs from "kelar". That's 30 silkies!....whew, its safe to say the silkie bug got to me. The best part is when both lines grow up I can breed them together and not have to worry one bit about inbreeding. Lol I'm already thinking about the beautiful chicks they will hopefully throw and the parents themselves have yet to grow from the yolk and hatch...
