Advice would be helpful!.... are these fertile?

[Lizziespeeps]

Candled this morning 3 random eggs , good thing I didn't toss anything out cause I can see outlines of things that look like parts ??, and on one of them I swear everytime I put the light on a certain side the thing moves the other way , as if it doesn't like the light. Got about another week left

so i took them out yesterday. opened them up and just moosh. no babies of any kind... nothing. bad eggs to begin with...

I hope your next batch of eggs fairs better...I hesitate to say if they are fertile or not, but if you open them up, I would be curious to know!

Yes, those eggs were most likely infertile. They look about as clear as any egg you take from the fridge would look, but from the darkness of the yolk it is possible that there was some cell division but it quit early on, before an embryo was formed. However depending on your flashlight, sometimes the yolk is naturally darker. Depends upon whether you saw the eggs grow darker or whether they were always like that. By day 8 you would have been seeing a lot of clear veining, with a flashlight as powerful as yours, no doubt about it. Doesn't matter how you position the flashlight.

Yep, just finished cracking mine open too. Nothing, no blood spots, no veining, looked like regular eggs that just sat out for too long.

I think I would have felt better knowing it was a mistake that I made instead of the fact that they just werent viable eggs to begin with and I have spent the past month obsessing over them.
