Big Grin  Egg questions

Hi all,

I have 2, 10 day old eggs in incubator at the moment - can anybody tell me and/or post pics of what to look for to see if eggs are fertile? Ive held a torch to the eggs but cant see much - however it does look as if the yolk is at the bottom in both the eggs, also I can see large air pockets on the one side in both of the eggs, apart from that I cant really see anything! I dont know if that because I havent a clue what Im looking at or whether there is nothing to see!! Smile
