Setting eggs August 2 -- anyone else?

[Poetical Peeps]

Hiya!
I set 3 splash/ blue OEGB eggs under my broody RSL the 2nd. I just candled them and I'm not sure if they're alive or not.

Can you guys help me out? https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/696499/3-day-old-eggs-quitters

I'm really hoping for some chicks!
Good luck to everyone else, happy hatching!

It's kind of early to tell for sure. Around the 9th, you'll likely see signs... sometimes it can take up to ten days. The rings you're describing in that link don't sound good, but you may as well give them a while. I hope all goes well.

I'm pretty sure that is spam. The links led to a foreign gaming sales sight. She posted 4 times within 45 minutes to various threads and not one comment had anything to do with the thread or current conversation.

When are you candleling the eggs? How many do you have?

So glad I made her feel welcome...

Good to know!

I have 42 on my turner. Will candle some of the lighter-colored ones in a few days, but might just wait till lockdown for the darker ones.

I have 6 going in my new beginners incubator, 3 dark 3 lighter coloured ones.
Candled today and all 3 of the lighter ones have spider veins already, will have to wait longer for the dark ones. Really happy with the new incubator didnt see veins before with my home made one!
Very exciting

I'm having kind of a downer day, trying to decide how to deal with my rooster (he's been injured for quite a while and is decidedly not going to get better...), so I am probably going to cave in and candle a few eggs tonight.

Glad you're seeing positive signs. Really cool when you see a "heartbeat" (or whatever it is). It's hard to stop candling when you start seeing stuff going on inside.

Just quickly/gently lit up a few of my lighter colored eggs. At least 3 of the legbars have veining and most of my mutts do. =)
