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

[lillybettybabs]

I've candled my 6 eggs, At the moment five have veins but the 6th i'm not sure about,

looks clear but there is a very faint line that i'm not sure about.

Would it be worth trying that one again in a few days?

[sjp]

what day are they on?

[lillybettybabs]

I candled on day 8,I think it's unfertile but there is a faint line down the middle.

Probably a dud, but I'd give a while longer and if there is no change in 2/3 days or so remove it. Good luck

If it doesnt look the same as the others its probably a dud

 

Signs of trouble include a blood line in a circle around the inside of the egg which indicates the egg is a dud because of bacteria, another sign is a short 1cm or so straight line which indicates a dud too, I think that one is where the egg started to develop and stopped quite quickly
