So I candled all the eggs because it's not looking good. We had 18 eggs to start with and 5 were not fertilized at all (mostly the tiny eggs). There were 7 embryo deaths; looks like a range of 5 days to 9 days. You can tell that they've died because of a ring around the egg, it's caused by the blood leaving the embryo. There are five eggs left but 3 out of the five look like they have an air pocket, which shouldn't be there. The chick should be taking up the entire egg and using the air for it's first breaths. So I guess we'll see tomorrow what will happen.
