How to Hatch Eggs with an Incubator | Everything you need to know for success!
What happens here
Using the built-in candler on the incubator, place an egg over the light source. Compare the visible development inside the egg to the 'Incubation Progress, Candling Pictures' chart provided with the incubator. On Day 10, healthy eggs will show visible blood vessels and movement of the embryo. Non-viable eggs will appear clear or show a black spot without development. Remove any non-viable eggs to prevent potential contamination.
Goal: Identify and remove non-viable eggs.
