Which eggs can i use?

[Fabiola]

I am candling some eggs before putting them in the incubator, but some have the yolk in the middle, some in the side, some have a really large yolk, which ones would be more suitable to hatch? I know it has to do with the air sack, but I don't know which ones will hatch better, some eggs are also very porous, can some one tell me which eggs need to avoid? Any advise would be apprecited.

I don't have any lying on the side, but I still don't know what to do with the eggs, because they look all different under the light...

They say not to use the porous ones. I don't think the position of egg yolk makes a difference. I just put the ones I want in the bator. I candle at day 7,14 and day 18. Check airsacs,bad eggs, clears ext.

The yolk should be suspended in the middle of the egg. I have set porous eggs and they have hatched with no problem. I dont set very small or misshapen eggs. Set them all if you cant decide. The strong ones will hatch the others wont. Thats the way it works in nature.

X 2...I just set everything & see what pops out. I also rarely candle, mostly due to lack of time since I turn 4-5 bators full of eggs by hand 3 times daily & have kids & other animals to deal with in addition to all the chickens & ducks, plus the chicks & other birds I hatch. I just watch for leakers (porous eggs tend to leak quicker than solid ones) & stinky ones so I don't have rotten eggs exploding in my bators.
