Hi everyone. I am new to candling and going by some pics to compare my eggs to expected development. I candled several eggs today-six at day 7; one at day 10 The eggs are under a broody hen. She gets off the nest at least once a day for about a half hr.
Would love to hear from those who know more than I do about progress in these eggs. thx!!

NB 5: pics 1&2. Is this a blood ring/early quitter?

B2: pics 3&4. developing, not moving yet. Looks stuck to side—is that triangular shadow normal?

B7:pics 5&6. no air cell but could it poss be a late developer?

Pics 7,8,9 Are these infertile?

Pic 10- def developing and moving.

I’m candling with a mini mag light. Room is the darkest I can get—I prob could go into a closet. I’ll try and find a brighter light and repost pics later. I’m most concerned over NB5 the first two pics- Thx.
The first pic..I see one faint red line, on the left, that can't possible be a week old.

If you are seeing more veins and movement in person it may be ok.
 
None of them do.
The very last picture is the only one that looks decent.

What are you using to candle and are you candling in a dark room?

Bumping. Need advice concerning egg in pic 1 and pic 3. Pic 3 looks stuck to side of egg. Humidity has been very low, about 40%- eggs are under a broody hen. tia

I candled today, three viable eggs remaining. Total novice at this. The clutch is staggered by 5 days under a broody hen (dumb on my part).

I am hoping to get opinion on dev day to make best guess at hatch days so as to have a plan of action for incubation due to staggering.
Would you mind taking a look and correct my guesses? Am I candling these eggs upside down? Some candling videos said fat end down but that’s the air cell. I’m so confused 😐

NB2. day 14 video. Egg set on 5/29-looks like 14 days to me
B2 set on 6/2 video. looks like day 9-10?
NB7 (two pics below) set on 6/3- looks like day 7-8?

ETA: thread title change
