I candled monday just because I couldnt wait any longer. But I only candled 3 out of the 10 that were developing last Wednesday, and they are all still growing!!

Im planning on candling everybody today to see how many I might have going into lockdown this sunday. Of course I will still candle sunday too! (day 18 )

How are yours?!?

Mine are due on the 14th too! (Or thats just day 21) Im dont know how Im going to wait another whole week!

I guess candling will be my saving grace!

(Dont worry today will be my 3rd time candling... last hatch I candled all the time!)

Good luck!

I think I probably candle every 3 or 4 days and it hasn't harmed anything yet as far as I can tell. I did have 4 silkies, 4 cochins and a mystery that didn't make as of day 10. The mystery had a bacterial ring, but the others all looked to be infertile. No bullseye when cracked or anything. And seeing it was only those 2 breeds, I think the rooster went on strike!!

I have silkie eggs in locked down right now and I had a pip this morning!!!!

All other eggs are doing good in incubation.

4 of the 5 are doing great. great movement and all. The fifth one i believe is the blood ring but looks to still be developing. I also have eggs due to hatch on the 19th and a good portion of those are developing great, and those are shipped eggs. I had 18 one had a detached air sac. There are about 5 that i cant see development in.
