I candled them last week. All but one looked empty.
The one just had a little shadow at the end.
So I was hoping for at least one.
My friend said to let them sit another week

The Decision is made.
I am gonna remove them. I just candle them again and they are dead.
I was told the new mom , may not have turned them like they are suppose to be.
They also sent me this pic.
The ones on the right are what mine look like now.
Both dark and some with the yolk or all yellow :cry:

Unless you've manipulated the length of day through artificial lighting, it is very unlikely that the eggs could have been fertile this time of year. Male canaries don't produce sperm outside of the breeding season and the psudopenis would not be developed enough to impregnate the hen. With canaries, it's all about light and hormones. Give them a rest and try again in the spring. Bob
