So like I stated, this is my 2nd time incubating. We got ok results from our 1st time and learned a lot so we are hoping to improve this time. We have a Havobator with a fan kit installed, temp is holding rock steady at 99.5, we added blue food coloring to the water to make it easier to monitor its level, egg turner is working like it should.
We read on here that we need to candle on certain days- today is day 3 and I made a candler from a long soup can and lamp socket, used a pc of fiberboard to cut a hole out for eggs to sit on. Most of my eggs are brown or green and we had to put a 75 watt lamp in to be able to see.
SO all the eggs look the same to me- there is an air pocket at the big end and a dark mass sitting more on one side right under the air pocket. IS this what I should be seeing on day 3? I know so little....help
