yes i would if they were mine , there are lots of site you can see candled eggs which have helped me . if you are unsure that the eggs are the day they should be mark them and keep an eye on them . i always move them away from the good ones or the ones you can see movement . good luck and keep us posted

Thanks for all the help, everyone. I'm learning so much!

My eggs are marked with identification, age, front, back, whether it's a questionable hatch or not, and everything is marked in a notebook with profiles for each egg. Doesn't help the wait is already killing me.
