williamspencer98 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Hi, when I candled my eggs (day 6) the egg seems darker, an orange colour with off-white spider veins going all over one side, but plain the other side? Is this good or bad? Edited October 23, 2012 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamspencer98 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Those are the two pictures, theres not much others to see on the other eggs yet. Today is day 6, these photos were on day 3 I think. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutmare Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'd leave it until day 10. Candle again. I've had my doubts about eggs before, and I've had chicks from them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 You still need to wait longer (hard I know), you risk damaging the eggs if you keep candling them. Leave them until day 10, you will be in no doubt then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 the top egg is a worry from the photo it might be broken best thing to do is candle an egg from the fridge or a new laid egg any that look the same on day 10 i.e no dark areas are duds any that have dark areas should be good. I've been hatching eggs about 3 years and still haven't seen anything other than a dark mass in a developing egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The first looks infertile, the second looks to have a blood ring. Both no goers I think. I would have removed both of those if I'd seen that at day 7. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
