I would say that 1, 4, 5 and 13 are not developing but the rest look like they could be to me but it is hard to tell by the pictures. Do you see veins inside the eggs?

Okay, i'm not a total expert like some of the folks around here, but from my two years of hatching experience, i would say that nobody is home in eggs 5 and 13. Eggs 1,4, and 3 are questionable, so were it me, i would leave them in and then candle again in a couple days. If you don't see any progress then you can pull them out. You definitely have something going on with the others. Looks like a very good hatch. Congratulations!

On your red hen's eggs, i would give it a shot at incubating them. Shipped eggs go through a lot, temperature changes and whatnot, and they are many times still viable. So i feel your hen's eggs have a chance.

By the way, GREAT pics of the egg candling. Those are difficult images to capture.

Can't see 4, but 1, 5 and 13 look to be clear.
 
i do see veins in pretty much all of them excepet in numbers 5 and 13 but they too have a darker side to them yet not as dark as the others nor as many visible vains ...im doubtful...so should i still keep them in there or withdrawl them...

and thanks for such quick responses...now im not too scared i lost all the babies..thanks...
