I have a few eggs in my incubator and I'm wondering if there fertile or not its been a about a week. I've never hatch chicks before but I've done ducks. These are barred rock cross rode island reds

Only the third image is showing up for me and it looks a little hard to tell. I'd really wait until day ten before candling. But if that's a shadow at the bottom, I'd say maybe? Here's an eggcellent post about candling where you can compare your pictures: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...g-candling-pics-progression-though-incubation

I'd really wait until day ten, I don't want to give you the wrong information, but he doesn't look to fertilized. But if it's a brown shell egg, those are very hard to determine what's happening (I know, I have a hen sitting on thirteenish of them and I have issues candling). But if you aren't seeing a little gooey wiggling about or any sign of a gooey (a.k.a the famous 'black marble dot") there is a chance it might not be fertile. But I'd wait a few more days

One of my other eggs have a black dot but no veins.

The only little gooey I've seen is the yolk

I didn't realize that was a five and I thought your gooey was some crazy alien chicken or something xD
