What do you think are the duds? Candling pics
« on: May 01, 2010, 17:03 »
These are the pictures of the eggs my broody has sat on for seven day, I think half are infertile and the other I don't know about - help please.
The one I am hopeful about?

 These two have a shadowy shape


2 are like this infertile I think

and this one no real shadow but a couple of lines?

Bit hard to tell from the pics, I think candling is much easier in the flesh so to speak. Fromwhat I could tell would agree the first 3 (especially the 1st) look hopeful. The clear one definately looks infertile. The one with just a couple of lines in it looks like it probably has a blood ring which means it was fertile but then the embryo died early on.
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

I'd also agree with Kate and Nails.  4's not fertile and last one looks a bit dubious too as it doesn't look to have developed to the same extent but I'd leave it until 18days and discard if it doesn't look like the others.
