Are these eggs viable?

[CritterHill]

A friend is incubating eggs and is wondering if these are viable. I don't see anything, but figured I'd get the expert opinions before they get tossed.

The first two pics is one egg that's been incubating 9 days. The third pic has been incubating 5 days.

Thanks!

I would think you'd see veining by now.

That's what I was thinking too, but I would hate to be wrong and toss a developing egg.

I don't know the first one for 5 days do you see any veining in that one.

Doesn't look like it. I don't have much hope.

I candle at 7 days, should see veining. If no viening I toss the egg. Exception is if a very dark egg and have a hard time seeing into the egg. Dark eggs I give a few more days.

At 7 days nice dark environment and being able to see into egg should see embryo moving.

Also I try not to rotate eggs 360 degrees, I have read can damage embryo well the cord going to embryo. I candle with large side up as coming out of turner.
