kittyl Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I don't think things are going well with my faverolle eggs. Its now day 10, so far when candling them I can see the yolks are bigger & darker than compared to my normal eggs, but I cant see any sign of veins or a dark spot (They are just tinted eggs, not brown), does this mean they are not developing? This is new to me as I've always hatched with a broody so not been able to candle properly before, - maybe I've done it too much this time. I'm wondering how long I should give them before I give up. Is there anything else I should look for to confirm one way or the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 if the egg's inside is getting darker then it should be developing As for veins I've never seen then in 3 years of hatching eggs. They just keep getting darker. I only remove eggs that still look like a non incubated egg at day 10 then any that are more clear than dark at day 18 but most get left until after hatch day +2 at least in the incubator has I hate to risk throwing out live unhatched chicks which is one reason I prefer using a broody their harder than me when it comes to giving up on unhatched eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittyl Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 what about the dark spot I should be seeing & the movement? is that always visible by now? I keep looking at pictures of other peoples eggs on youtube & it all looks so clear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
