i had a total of 18. 2 look like quiters and another a blood ring one was to porus and the other 4 are clear. i havent tossed the 3 that appear to have blood rings yet as i have heard of those hatching healthy chicks

ok so my parents think that none of my eggs will hatch since the humidity has been 35-45 during incubation in a still air incubatdor. friday is lockdown for them and last time i candled all were wiggling like crazy. i am 24 so dont get me wrong lol i had 18 and am now down to 10 it looks like i havent tosse any as fear i might not be seeing though the egg right and dont want to throw out a good egg. thus i am using my nose 3-4 times a day just sniffing them without touching to make sure there arent any rotten ones

grrr why must they try and put me down on my hatching and saying idk what i am doing
