Default Do these eggs look ok?

Well, I am back for my holiday and there were no incubator crises whilst I was gone.... Phew!

These horsfield eggs are day 50 and my first ones. Can anyone with more experience please tell me if they look like they should do at this stage?

Well I'm an absolute novice at this, having only hatched one egg, but all those veins look promising to me. I'm sure someone knowledgable will be along to reassure you soon. x

Have to agree. Nice healthy veins can only be the best sign of a good viable egg.

Thanks for the replies! I did worry about re eggs whilst I was away and the first thing I did when I got home was check them.

Is the white bubble at the
top the membrane pulling down? I keep hearing about the membrane but not too sure what it is!

How much longer do you think, alley cat?
