Has anyone candled yet?
I'll probably candle Sunday or Monday.
Does anyone care about the number of eggs set in all?

I candled my eggs today from my April 30th set. I set 8 eggs and 7 are developing well on day 14. I still need to give them to my broody Im hoping I can move her to a broody cage tonight and finally give her the eggs.

Just the one time at day 12 or 13 for guineas. I removed three. I'm pretty hands off otherwise. Hen is sitting tight but enjoys her daily treats. Quite devoted, hard to keep her off the nest long enough to do her business. I've been cheating and watering down her crumbles so she is at least getting some water in there!

I have a second broody now, a big LF cochin who fills up an entire large size dish washing tub. I am debating on what to put under her. I will probably do some BYM and EE with a high chance of laying blue/green or green eggs.

I'm very hands off with a broody and I don't know if I've ever candled a broody egg.
I usually only candle at about day 10 and again before transfer to the hatcher.
I may candle more often this time since I'm incubating eggs I can actually see into.
I'm going to be in trouble when it is time to transfer. There are 85 eggs that have to go somewhere. I'll probably put 50 in the hatcher and 35 in the LG.
I don't like hatching in the LG cause I hate cleaning it.
