I candled some eggs today and it has been 5 days and there are no blood veins. My quesiton is are they ok to eat if they are not developing?
 
Hi!
They definitely wouldn't be 'fresh eggs' after 5 days in the incubator.

I boil my 'clears' and feed them to the chickens.
They don't look or smell bad. I don't think I'd be brave enough to eat one myself

I would not eat them. You never know if bacteria has begun to grow in them from the incubation.

IF, they were jist sittin on the shelf waiting to be candled to see if they were fertile or not then i most definately would eat them. To be sure, give 'em the float/sink test.
If they were indeed in yer bator, then i jist learned along with you from the gals that said don't eat 'em.
 
Dont know about the unfertile eggs, but in some countrys they eat duck eggs with embryos in them after they are boiled. i think its called "balut"
