Before when I candled, I threw away eggs that looked to be partially
developed.  That is why this time I decided to risk the nasty explosions
and candle, but wait to toss..  If my memory serves, 60% is about what I
have gotten in the past, too.

Yeah, I was always scared with the old chicken coop.  If you have looked
at the picture of the old coop, you can see that the door is only about
5 feet tall.  I can't tell you how many times I have seen stars after
going in and out and hitting my head.  I just knew that one day I would
be out cold in the chicken coop, and come to as the little witches were
pecking my eyes out.    Note that in the new coop, I have a regular
sized door and I can lock out the chickens when I clean the coop.<g>
