Are they dead?

[Easter eggers]

i just candled at day 3 all I saw was a dark spot at he bottom of the egg. Should I see some thing already or not?

I've never learned to candle eggs,

so I can't tell you if that's good or bad, but you can use this thread as reference:

Hope your babies are o.k.

No, at day 3 there really isn't much to see, believe me I have tried many times before hoping to see at least something. Seeing a large somewhat dark area is a good sign, I'm not sure if stuff in the egg is settling or what but it's not the actual embyro. I have hatched and candled many times before at day 3 and that is often what I see in fertile developing eggs. You will be able to see something developing around day 7, usually they are a fairly decent size by then, I usually wait until day 10 to take out infertile eggs and quiters.
