None of them developed at all. I got the eggs off eBay, so something must have happened in shipping.

sorry about that...

Need help candling brown eggs!!!!!! I can't see anything! I've bought another flashlight (which is way better than the one I had) but still I can't see anything! I kinda see some veining but im not sure

Look real hard and don't toss any until it's been at least 10 to 12 days if there is any darkness in the egg. Speaking of, I need to go use my imagination on my eggs.

Ok I checked on the eggs today (today is day 11) and I candled the eggs and I found 4 dead

The other 6 had moving embryos and blood vessels. I know they're dead because there's this dark mass (I think its the embryo) with no blood vessels and the "embryo" wasn't moving. On one egg theres was this weird looking stuff in it! real weird. I'll post pics about that egg. So now im down to 6 eggs

I know they look like blood vessels in this pics but they're not! It looks like round things like a blood vessel chopped into pieces. Its all over the egg.

***UPDATE*** The embryo wasn't moving so I cracked the egg and it was dead. I will not post pics of the egg because it just looks disgusting

I candled last night. It was day 12 I believe. All of them are doing good. I probably spent 30 minutes just gazing at these amazing eggs. Okay, they are just plain old brown eggs, but watching the little chicks moving around and seeing the heart beat. Wow... It's one of the coolest things ever. By the way, at day 12 it was very easy to see the veins nad movement. With a good flashlight, in a very dark room. So don't give up Lovechikies and Skitz. Just wait a few more days. It will be easier!
 
Just slipped 8 Prather BCM eggs under a first time broody tonight - she fluffed and scooted them all underneath her. She looked quite happy to see I was GIVING her eggs instead of swiping them. What a nice girl ... she is so sweet.

We'll see what I say about her in 21 days!!!

I won't give up! I candled again tonight and I saw the embryos moving! Today is day 7 and I could see them moving and lots of veins!
