After about a week of incubation, you will see a dark spot with blood vessels around it in a fertile egg. If the egg stays clear, it is probably infertile. If you see a red ring without vessels, development has stopped. Remove such eggs from the incubator so they do not go off. Candle quickly and put the egg back straight away; brown or speckled shells let through less light and are harder to judge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCollecting and storing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the Gaun egg basket (ø 20 x 15 cm), you collect the eggs without them rolling against each other. The transparent Gaun egg tray holds 12 eggs; it is made of plastic and easy to clean.
