I must suck at candling eggs!!
Thank God. I have 7 Japanese (local eggs) in the bator for 12 days. Also 61 silkies and sizzles (shipped eggs) that are 9 days in. The Japs are doing wonderful. When I candle, I see an eye and feet and lots of movement. Their eggs just seem to candle almost clear. It's the coolest thing ever!!!
Then the other eggs I candled at 7 days and found nothing!!!! I was sure nothing was happening.
I was so bummed. Did I do something? NO, not possible. It had to be the Post Office.
BUT, when I candled, I only tossed the clear eggs or the ones with a blood ring, just in case. See, I'm not a total idiot, just a partial one. When I could not stand it any more I candled them again this morning. Guess what? I found 26 eggs with movement. I'm trying not to be too excited just in case, you know, I send them to chick heaven. This is going to be the longest 12 days ever....
