Are my eggs full of bacteria? :(

Actually. Keeping them in there and letting them explode would cause the OP to have to TOTALLY disinfect the bator, which is not good or a first choice. And eggs really do not look different to different people. A developing egg looks that same, no matter what, like an ultrasound on a human. At day 14 those eggs should show a MUCH more pronounced development than there is. They are quitters and the OP should remove them before the bator could be contaminated.

I just PUT MY GLASSES ON and candled them quickly since I had to turn them anyways, and I candled from the top this time and #3-5 ARE MOVING! I saw ones little leg moving too! It was amazing! OMG! 3 out of 5 aint bad!!! Now if I can just keep from killing the little guys! 1 and 2 are the ones I think for sure are bad, and they dont even have any veins that I can see. Im not gonna throw them out till next week though, just in case, seeing that last time I candled I was 100% sure that #3 was a dud....... I am so nervous now! But apparently the key was to candle from the top not the bottom.

But they are turkey eggs... I figured the difference would account. Say if it were day 5-7 on chickens, then it would be barely starting to grow... I'm confused now... Day 14 for turkeys would equal day 7 for chickens. There we go!

OP said they dont stink at all. I dont think they are in danger of exploding. I cant say weather there still alive or not but I try not to cull any eggs till lock down unless they smell.

And they did look completely different when lighted from the top than they did from the bottom and side. Good thing I found that out before I tossed them all. I would have felt so bad.
Turkey eggs take 1 week longer to develop than chickens. This is what one of my 7 or 8 day turkey eggs look like.

I did turkeys last year. They look fine to me, about what mine looked like at the same stage. It seemed to me that the turkey eggs took a long time to develop -- even at day 21 through about day 24/25, I too was in despair that something was wrong, because I could still see a lot of light coming through when I candled. But, I had 8 of 8 develop fully, and 7 of 8 hatch.

I say let them go and see, but I bet they're fine.

Hopefully not half as bad as the people who confidently stated they were rotten quitters and should be tossed before they exploded in your bator. This forum would be a whole lot better if people refrained from presenting guesses and personal opinions as if they were basic facts. I mean, what's wrong with saying, "In my opinion..." or "If I was you I think I might..." or "I'm not 100% sure but..." or " You might want to ask someone with more experience than me..."

Just saying...

Glad some of your eggs look like they're developing well. Good luck with them!
