EHAL - Day 7 Candling Report:

Crele Orpinton - 20 set, 2 clears
Jubilee Orpington - 9 set, 1 clear
Cream Legbar - 9 set, no clears; however, 3 look iffy
Langshan - 5 set, no clears; however, 1 looks iffy
Bredha - 5 set, no clears

Out of 48 set, 45 are still in the running although 4 of those remaining are questionable.

I'm very pleased with the results of the first candling.

Somebody mentioned the wiggly eye thing so I was curious when you see that lol

As early as day 5! Tiny, but if they are moving, you can see it. On day 7 for sure.

I was thinking the same thing..in fact, just commented on another post where someone posted two darling calves. Then someone said, everyone needs a cow. I said, I wish I had the land, I would have had horses, cows, goats, and a whole lot more chickens!

I also find that my honey-do list is getting longer and longer. ;-)

Well, my LG bator is finally down to 44% humidity after hanging out at 54% for the past five days. I hate the incubator.....

I hope you're not depending on the built-in LG digital hygrometer. It's better to get an analog unit and place it inside your bator. WalMart has them for less than $10.

Yes, I got one off amazon with great reviews for $8.00.

Well, I candled tonight. Of the 10 magpie duck eggs I set, 9 are alive and well, one was clear. Of the 5 Royal Palm turkey eggs I set... one was clear, one is weird, and 3 are definitely alive. The weird one has "something" in it.... it's not clear, and it's not a blood ring... it kinda of looks like a chick but I don't see any veins in it which is weird, as the others all do. So, no idea on that one, I left it in there for now.
