Candling question
« on: October 10, 2008, 22:14 »
I've got 5 eggs under a broody and I've just candled them (day 16).   At 10 days all were progressing.  One now seems to have a swirling mass, no defined edges, sort of "gloopy" for want of a better expression.  I'm fairly sure that this is no longer incubating, but I just wanted to ask the more experienced.  Should I take it away from the hen?

I would leave it there. I found with my ducklings as they started getting near hatch it was really difficult to see anything distict. Not an expert but would be a shame to get it wrong and get rid of a viable egg.
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

I would leave it too. I candled my eggs and thought there was nothing in any of them then a few days later out popped 3 chicks.
Hope all go's well for you
