I need a better flashlight!!!! I saw that about half the egg was dark and I think I saw a few veins. I was just using a junk flashlight. I'll pick up a good one tommorrow after work and take another look.

I need to buy one also! I've candled the eggs and 9 eggs have veins! except one. I Couldn't see it very clearly and maybe I'll buy another flashlight tomorrow so I can see it better (not sure if it's an embryo or a blood ring?)

Good luck with this!

I used to get great hatches on my LG bator. I kept the humidity at 35% - 45% for the first 18 days and the temperature at 99.8f - 102f for the first 18 days. On the last three days I raised the humidity to 60% - 70% and I keep the temperature the same. That's what I used to do and I had great hatches

but my bator broke so I will not be hatching on my bator till next year. I have a broody hen that is due the 27th
