To Candle or Not to Candle...

Ok..cool..Thanks guys! I guess I don't want rotten splattered eggs..But I also don't want to handle too much. I will prob. give it a shot as suggested maybe once like at day 12-14. That stage will probably show me any duds or stinky ones..We will see..I am soooo klutzy! I am afraid I will drop the egg(s).

I would rather touch them as little as possible to give the little chicks a chance!

It is better nto to handle them anymore than you have to. Those little embryos can be easily harmed.

I have decided to stop candling. It's almost 7 days until my hatch day and I can barely see anymore with the light I have. I am also really clumsy and already broke one so I've decided it's for the best and whatever comes out of those eggs will and I shouldn't worry about it.

i candled day 7, and day 18 (today)... all of my OEGB's are young, so out of 48 eggs, only 17 are doing anything... 6 blood rings...
