They're happily turning, hopefully with strong little embryos developing!

So sorry to hear about the potential blood rings, Fluffy You know I candle a ton sometimes, and I've never noticed a difference in embryo losses between batches where I candle like crazy and batches that I'm more busy with life and don't candle as much. Based on my experience, I really don't think candling is what caused it.

Creeper, the semilethal gene that Japanese bantams have as was mentioned a couple pages back, is an interesting thought. I didn't realize that was in Seramas as well, but looking at them some do look like they could have it. Homozygous embryos die at around day 4 of development, though, so I'd expect you would have seen signs of that back when you candled at day 5 (if I counted correctly)... However, if that is the case, then nothing you did or would have done differently would change anything.

Hopefully you've got lots of strong, bouncing embryos when you candle next Sending all the positive vibes!

Thank you . I think I candled on day 4 for the first time, since yesterday I candled at around the time Day 7 begun.

Seems like there aren't any new peeps to claim eggs, so after tonight's candling, do you want an egg?

 

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

Sure, just let me know which ones are available when you're done!

Here is the official first candling updates peeps! From the serama, 4 had blood rings, and 4 are still developing. Let's really root for the 4 little seramas left! Specifically, number one, two, four, and 6 ( @WoDia , @TwoCrows , @ElfenLied89 , @Sally PB ) are gone. Sorry friends

Number 3 ( @BDutch ) , 5 (unclaimed), 7 ( @Debbie292d ) and 8 ( @GreenJay ) are developing!
