So i candled my eggs.....

Well Im really dissapointed. i candled my eggs and at least three had rolling yolks so I tossed them.

then some Were yellow and orange on the inside so i dont think those are fertilzed ( Are they? )

And then I had a few were there was only one air cell it seemed on the big end, are these fertilized?


THEN I had some where the perimeter of the aircells looked wavy or hilly, are these still good?


But I did have a few that Im sure were good and developing nicely, so not all is lost

What day is this?

if it is seven or more days you should see veins forming, see the sticky with candling photo's for referance.

I always wait until day 10 before I give up on an egg and then if there is no development I open the egg to verify fertilization.

Today was day 18, 15, 13, and 11 for the eggs. So Im guessing I should crack open the ones that I can see yellow through? There are no dark masses in these eggs just the yellow and orange look of a newly laid egg. Yet its past day 10 for all.

i like day 10 best for candling... you can see veins and those little buggers will be zooming around in the eggs! the ones that you can see through are not fertile...
