How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[kimbo_frog]

I was given a few eggs from a friend and stuck them under a broody girl I have.

 

Its now 7+days and I wanted to check whats happening.

 

I found:

- 1 with spider viens and a black spot-little slight movements

- 1 with definate movements

- 1 wriggling all over the place!!

- 2 with red rings on the yolk -so dumped these

 

The only one i cant tell is a blue/green eggy...It feels very tough! and no matter what i try I cant get a speck of light through!!

 

Im using a large LED maglite, Ive also tried using boxes, cardboard tube etc

But this egg is allusive!!

 

any suggestions? is it worth buying a "candler" light?

or do I just leave it and wait for the suprise?

I found the blue eggs hard to candle too, I just left mine and waited but there must be a way of candling these

Don't say that, we're hopefully hatching 12 blue eggs in the next few weeks !

 

I don't think a proper candler would be any better, it may just be because its a thicker shell or something.

 

Good luck with it, you may have to wait for a surprise!

one of the blue/green eggs is fine to candle, but the other one is a rite *beep*!!

 

I hope its a nice suprise and not a smelly one!! euwww

 

havent told my kids yet about the eggs, just been telling them she is grumpy and wants to be left alone lol

 

I didnt want them to be dissapointed if nothing happens...

 

Now have to get the little house and run ready!!

 

I might ask my friend who dables in technology and electrics if he knows a brighter light without the heat...

I had a very dark olive green egg I couldn't candle. I left it and out popped my Lily Pie She's just about to start laying and I've told her she'd better lay eggs the same colour as her mum

They are very hard/impossible to candle - same goes for quail eggs.

I had a blue cream legbar egg in my hatch and found it impossible to candle, although did see a air sack in the last few days before hatching.

 

I really didn't know if it was fertile/developing at all until it started to cheep so don't worry and hope you have a lovely surprise!

Thanx everyone!

 

I hope I do get a nice suprise

 

My friend suggested going to the local lighthouse

 

I may have another go at the weekend just to see if there is anything at the end...

 

she has been such a good mum, I hope she gets rewarded...

 

she gets turfed off at 10am by me and again at 5pm,

 

she goes has some food, drink, poo and a qwik dustbath and a flap then straight back in

all under 8 mins!!

 

Day 10 half way there yay!
