Hi! I'm almost half way through my first incubation! The chicks are due to hatch on August 23rd! I've been reading all the posts about candling eggs! I saw some embryos moving about in the egg and some where just large dark blobs inside. I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking at unless I can see the baby chick moving about in the shell. I was moving pretty fast through the eggs though because I heard it was bad to keep the eggs out of the incubator too long! Can someone give a detailed description of what fertile eggs should look like at 10 days? Also what to look for when trying to find bad eggs? Thanks everyone!

@Lucyboo.. Your photos are not coming through. Try tinypic.com, thats what I use, and make sure you post the code for forums(it will have url in it.

OK now for progress on my eggs!

I have in the excellent catagory: TOTAL- 12
3 BO
3 EE
6 banty

These all have major veining, and embryos. They also seem to be bouncing around in there, moving like a baby in the womb.. Is that normal?


Now I have in the 'I dunno catagory' TOTAL- 10
2 BO
2 EE
6 banty

These being too dark to tell, its mostly dark with a light spot on the pointy end

Then I have in the unfertile/dead (maybe) TOTAL- 2
1 BO
1 EE

These being either clear, or a little dark in the middle but no signs of growth

LOL... I have never used anything but tiny pic, so I dunno how to tell you how to use them, but I assume theyre mostly the same..

On tiny pic, after it says you have successfuly uploaded your pic, you will see the pic you uploaded, then you will see a list of codes, find the one with 'url'.. Thats the one you want for forums. Copy and paste into your post. Make sure you get the entire code copied or it wont work
