Anyone else candle yet? I seriously have problems keeping my hands out of the incubator. At least my March hatch is a good distraction.

Out of my 9 eggs 7 are showing veins and tiny embryos. One I think is inferile and the other I put in a day later so maybe it’s too soon. This time around all my eggs are white or off white so seeing is much easier.
I did this morning just to see after my temp drop yesterday, and I'm happy with what I see. :love:yesss:

Congratulations on 7/9 showing so far, I think it's so exciting seeing them grow! :D

I candle way too much, I candled yesterday too even though I knew nothing was going to be visible yet ( I didn't see anything as expected). Today I saw really nice starts in at least 7 of my 15 shipped silkie eggs. :weeI love how easy it is to candle in my brinsea by just gently placing my candler over the air cell, if I had to actually remove the egg from the incubator to candle I probably wouldn't candle this early (at least not with shipped eggs that have any damage to the air cell).
That is good news! 7/9 distracted me for a minute.....

I just put 3 white Silkie eggs in my incubator last night, so we'll see how that goes. :D

I was also researching Cuckoo Marans, as I'm getting some soon, and look at this.

Anyone who calls them Cuckoo Maran Chickens is suspicious. :lau
Google is very funny!
 
So I may have lost my restraint and done an early candle at day 3... :gig
Out of the 18 bantams so far I've got the following developing
EE 4/5
Golden neck d'uccle 2/2
Mille Fluer d'uccle 0/4 (bummer but it's still early)
Porcelain d'uccle 2/2
Silver Sebright 1/2
Golden Sebright 2/2

To say I'm happy is putting it mildly considering these eggs traveled so far. I can't believe so many are developing! If even half of the current heartbeats make it to hatch I will be over the moon. :fl

Still nice for day3!

I hope you get some of the Mille Fluer d'uccle eggs to develop.
