Congratz! Who did you buy your eggs from?

There were 2 batches that I ordered at the same time:

Riverside, I got 13 and culled 4
Dusty43326, I got 16 and culled 0, still have 16 growing

I think that is amazing

So...day before lockdown! I candled last night. A good real candle. Usually I just shine a light from the top and not actually hold the eggs. Last night I held them. They look a bit behind. More like 14/15 than 16. But who knows. I also only saw two move. Usually they're bouncing all over the place. Also, I had some that had big veins but then there was a dark circular smudge that looked red. Does that mean they died? Ugh...patience is not a virtue I possess.

I finally tossed one of mine before lockdown that had what sounds like your describing, the very dark area and red. I saw zero movement so out it went.

Yeah, thats what i'm thinking. I will leave them in just in case...but i'm pretty bummed. I'm 90% sure they just died...they have vessels but I am guessing they died late and the smudging is bleeding of sorts.
 
I didn't candle mine because I never see anything at this point and i didn't want to shake them

That stinks, sorry... Anything REALLY dark looking as well as quite red is most likely a quitter.
