Candling results 9/9/09 day 7
100% fertility, even on the shipped eggs!
From the mutt hen in residence all 5 eggs are viable, lots of veining and movement.
One of hers (#1, laid 8/29)

From the 10 shipped eggs, 8 were veining and moving but on 2 I think I have blood rings. Those 2 are below:
#1, start of a blood ring? (dark shells here, had to enhance photo a bit)

#9, pretty sure that's a bona-fide blood ring, also dark shell

the second pic I think it is a blood ring. Not sure on the third one. Congrats on the other ones!

The third on, the ring goes all the way around and there's not a lot of veining, the second one though, there's veining on the other side of the egg so I'm on the fence. Leaving both in for another week just to be sure though.

Yes leave them for another week and then candle again and see if theres veining or if the embryo is jumping around. If they don't do that well I guess they died or they weren't fertil

I've got a broody sitting on five eggs. A mix of RIR/BA and BA eggs. Let's see.. I think that this is day six. How exciting. I heard that hatchery RIR never went broody! Ummm... someone forgot to tell my girl!
