williamspencer98 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Well it turns out the 2 that i thought were fertile aren't but I havent got rid of them yet. I cant seem to find much candling photos so I could do with some help as to what you think are fertile or not fertile. Be honest because personally, I dont think i have any that are fertile! Egg number 1 Egg number 2 Egg number 3 Egg number 4 Egg number 5 Egg number 6 Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 eggs 2 looks ok egg 3 is worth give a go egg 1 the photo isn't very clear egg 4 could be fertile but might not make it as the shell dosn't look very good.the white spots on the dark area but I'd give it a go egg 5 I still think is damaged egg 6 from the photo is a dud but I don't think you should bin it on the advice from the photo personally I think your candling them to much but I know it's hard to leave them a lone when you arn't sure weather you have good or duff egg and they don't look like any of the photo's that you can find. my advice for what it's worth cut your losses with number 5 and remove it them let the rest carry on untill day 15 or 18 then candle them again. other folk will have other ideas through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
