FIRST TIMER. BLOOD SPOT IN EGGS. ARE THEY OKAY?

[chickchicks13]

I put my eggs in on april 17, It's been 24 hours since I put my eggs in the incubator. I candled them today and I could see a blood spot in 4 out 6 of the eggs. Does the blood spot mean they are dead? Or is it too early to tell. I'm kinda worried.

Too early to tell. I dont candle until day 7 at the earliest. I try to wait til day 10.

24 hours of incubation does not tell you anything. Day one doesn't even start until 24 hours after set. You can't judge a whole lot until day 4-5 and even that's iffy.
