I wasn't going to candle until day 10, but I snuck a quick couple to candle and I shouldn't have b/c now I have a bad feeling about this hatch. I need to do a little more research on what I should be seeing, exactly what a blood ring looks like, but there were several that were clear and I know I'm not miss seeing that.

It's a red circle of all the blood vessels it happens when they all sag down also known as the ring of death caused by bacteria that kills the embryo[=http://www.google.com/search?q=chic...K6toCIBw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=672#][/]

Thanks, I knew it was very bad, meant death, I've been studying pics of candling eggs for days so I won't make any mistakes when I candle mine, I've never candled any before. I know some of my eggs are clear, I didn't take them out yet, it wasn't candling day (10). Some of my NN eggs, the darker ones I couldn't see into at all, the houdans are a piece of cake to see, and I was suprised at the araucana eggs, even though they are a very, very pale blue almost white looking they didn't candle well.

Sorry so many of yours were bad.

Yeah it takes time I'm just now figuring out the whole candling thing I knew it before but I was unsure google and YouTube have alot of good images and help on candling,yeah I lost almost half to being clear....clear are infertile right or is that when they get scrambled, some things I'm still uncertain.
For my good eggs it was cool seeing them move and pulsate I can't wait to see the baby Nn once they hatch hope you take pix of them when they do lol

Yes, that is my understanding clear = infertile.

Oh rest assured there will be pics and plenty of them I post lots and lots of pics both here and on FB. lol
