I bought 15 eggs from Meyer. I candled them on Day 6 and was pretty certain most were viable. There were 1 or 2 questionable ones...
I candled again today, which is Day 8... I opened the box hole bigger to let more light into the surface of the eggs.
Here's my outcome-
Growing Chicks w/ Veins
-
2 white eggs
3 tan/khaki eggs
1 dark brown egg with speckles
1 cream egg
?'s
-
1 EE I cannot see inside
2 tan eggs that are dark inside, but I cannot see eyes
Clears
-
I believe I only see yolks inside 4 tan/khaki eggs
And I have a dark ring that doesn't seem to move, but I cannot see anything else. Maybe a bloodring in the brown egg.
Total- Possibly 10 viable. I'm thinking only 7 though. That's less than HALF.
That sucks soooo bad. I hope I get better numbers with my orphingtons later in the year.
