Heading to bed. It's the night crew's turn!!
I have an appointment with the GI specialist tomorrow morning.
Hopefully they will take payments in ducklings!
Still waiting for the "not so" short term disability insurance to do their job!!!
They don't seem to understand that they are the first link in the medical chain!
Need my STD insurance money to pay the COBRA.
Need the COBRA so I can have medical coverage.
Need medical coverage to diagnose and solve my issues.

I didn't throw them out, I marked them and put them in one side of the incubator, I'm NOT experienced at candling
and the flash light I used was led and I don't know how powerful it was, I'm going to get another one and try again tomorrow. They don't smell ?......and they are due to hatch 5/20 hope that helps?? I'm going to use the flashlight sadiesue uses... I can see masses, just not veins and stuff! And my eyes aren't the best anyway, soo.. I'm hanging tight with what I have till I get a better look if I can and I'll keep asking questions, if i can get a picture I will post what I see.
Thanks T!!!
Trust me...don't hang on my every word...I am VERY inexperienced and VERY new. This is only my second hatch. I would not candle so soon again either. When is day 18? Might want to wait until then. I know others have said that too much candleing can upset and damage/kill embryos also. Wait for other responses and see what they say. If they don't stink...I would wait until all is said and done - if others say not to candle. I got a small flashlight that is used by police and FBI, etc...It is something like 250 lumens. When it is in my hand you can see the veins in my hand. Mine are on day 18 and will be in lockdown tonight when I get home. On my first candleing (first hatch) I had a small inexpensive flashlight. All I could see were dark lumps. Could not see a thing. My new flashlight, when I candled last friday, there were large lumps, but I could see air sacs, I could see faint veins on the edge of the large masses....BUT - I could see the large masses flutterig/moving. It was absolutely the coolest thing. It is such an amazing process. My flashlight was $50.
Someone, just recently showed how they added 2 rubber rings and a metal washer...in what order did this go? rubber rings against flashlight and then metal washer?
Anyway, You will be amazed, but ask everyone to see when you should candle again so you don't over stimulate/handle the eggs so that there is no damage done. Good luck. I hope some eggs hatch on the 12th - this is my DD 10th bday. She would be so happy if they hatched then.....LOL.
Happy Birthday to your DD - I did not realise she is so close in age to Olivia who will be 10 on July 4. Any chicks? I somehow lost a Barnevelder Roo today. Counted them this morning and they were all there. Counted them this evening, and 1 roo is missing. Because they are not fully grown yet, I keep them in the coop and a fully secure run - we did install some roosting bars in the run today, but thought we were very careful with the door. We never noticed him sneak by, and he did not hang out with the older hens who were out all day. I was out all day because once the fog burned off, we got some SUN!!!! I never saw the roo - he must have gone up into the woods instead of down into the garden where everyone else was.
The kids are both very upset, but at least it was a roo - one less I will need to find a home for.
