Can’t see veins in eggs

[Vhope77]

I would give them time. With the dark eggs, it's harder to look in and see the baby. With white eggs, you can see everything clearly, but unfortunately isn't the case here. Just give them another couple of days, monitor temp and humidity, and watch for movement if possible when you candle.

But they are large embryos I can see eyes on most of the ones I candled but like I said no movement or veins but they may be growing? They look bigger than a few days ago

I'm not that experienced with hatching, but would give them more time. In your photo I think I do see some veins. Brown eggs are hard to candle for sure.

I've found this site to be fairly helpful, I believe she has all "days" candled so you can sort of compare hers with what you see. Just scroll to the bottom for the "next day". I started you on day 9.

There's some really good youtube videos as well if you do a google search of "egg candling".
I hope all goes well with your hatching. Keep us posted!

I don’t see movement in any of them is this the case sometimes ? They are pretty big embryos I can see eyes clearly and it seems like they are growing ?

No worries sometimes they don’t as long as they are growing then you are good. How often are you turning them?

4-5 times a day

View attachment 1658474 View attachment 1658477 hi all I have eggs in a home made incubator on day 9 I can clearly see the embryo but I can’t see veins along the egg could the just be more inwards and not visible ? There are 40 eggs in the incubator and the six I candled all looked similar . Black embryo around the right size for day 9 but barely to no veins I am worried but will let them run there course I don’t take eggs out anymore after opening and egg I thought was unfertile and finding a healthy embryo . Yes I am using the right type of flashlight to candle I have another batch of eggs in a different incubator on day 16 and I can clearly see them moving and veins with this flashlight second pic shows lack of veins

Still looks early for veins. How long have you been incubating?

I found out my thermometer was 3.8 degrees hotter then what it says I bought a expensive one now I’m worried they were to hot and died
