Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Lovemychooks]

I candled the eggs last night and found that there was one egg which I think is fine but not sure. Wondered if anyone could help. I think it's a good egg but looking at the photos on the post "Day 6 and I've just candled my eggs", i'm beginning to wonder now.

 

The egg had the spidery veins but half the egg was light. Is this normal ?

 

I need to check the rest of the eggs tonight......i'm sooooooooo excited but got to wait until 25th August before they hatch !

Veins sound good but I've only candled once ( well, actually about 5 times in one hatch ) so an expert would be better able to reassure you. I will say that I wasn't sure about any of my eggs at day 7, wasn't until day 10 I knew 4 were fertile, so don't be disheartened yet.

Hi - it sounds good. Veins are a sure sign that something is going on. The clear area was probably the air sac.
