Raina Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) Well i candled the eggs today and i saw veins in 4/6 of them I'm not sure about the other 2 though, I'm not sure if i saw very feint veins or just a trick of the eye What should i do? Leave them till they have been in the bator for 10 days, then candle? They went in July 30th Thanks, Raina Edited August 5, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Leave them in, unless you could see a definite blood ring. By ten days you'll see a little baked bean wriggling inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Yep, leave them for a few more days and see if anything happens. 4/6 is still good - thats what we had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raina Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Thanks Griffin & Lewis My 10 yr old nephew was really eggcited (rang up his mum to tell her lol) They have been in the bator a week already (well 6 days as i counted the first day as day 0) I'm surprised at how patient i'm being 13-14 days to go EDIT: Candled them about 20 mins ago when i went to turn them (read that if they go off they explode so didn't want to risk it ) and saw veins in all 6 of em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teri Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 (read that if they go off they explode so didn't want to risk it ) that is definatley true! they POP really easily ...and boy do they stink so pleased you have 6 little fertile eggs...it is really exciting...but well worth the wait. my chicks two days early when i was out all day at work. my hubby found them with my son which is just typical! i did get to see the last one hatch as it was polling day and the school was closed so the kids got to watch as well keep us updated x teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
