I have 5 clear looking eggs in a batch of 23 silkie eggs that I set in my incubator on the 13th in the evening. I'm counting 6 days so far. All the other eggs are veining and have little embryos growing very visibly. So when do you discard an egg that looks clear. Has any one ever made a mistake? There's no smell so I'm leaving them in for now.
I'm so grateful for this forum and being able to just come here with my questions knowing I will get an experienced answer. THANK YOU ALL!!!
 
I have candled at day 8 and can clearly tell which are not viable/fertile and which are not, I toss on day 10. Of course, out of my last hatch of 16, one had to be tossed on day 10, 10 hatched great, and have 5 on day 25 now that were quitters

so have to toss them today and clean the bator for another hatch. Good luck.
 
Thankyou! I will wait till day 10 if they are still clear I will discard. I have 15 out of 23 that are definites. These are yound hens who just started laying a month ago. There's a certain hen that her eggs don't seem to be fertile. Have to wait and see.
