Can You Candle Eggs to See if Yolk is Stuck to Side?? Eggs not turned for 24-36 hours

Can You Candle Eggs to See if Yolk is Stuck to Side??
Okay.. so.. My eggs went their first 24-36 hours without turning. After hours of reading articles.. I still am unsure. And my eggs are singing Should I stay or Should I go? So my question now is, can you candle the eggs to see if the yolk stuck to side? I saw where you can look for deformities within candling but I'm not even sure sometimes what I'm seeing exactly of the bird through the egg, much less if it is deformed. I am more concerned with the smaller Serama eggs.
Does anyone know the answer and maybe have pics of an egg in question. My first thought was to toss them bc I would have a lot of trouble culling that many birds over something I did, it definitely wasn't their fault. Researching, as usual, is giving mixed reviews

They will be fine. Turning is not an exact science and broody chickens don’t have a timer that tells them to turn it every x amount of hours. They just know to instinctively turn them and do it every once in a while.

Okay! I will wait it out and candle them at 7 days to see what's up

So how are things now? Singing eggs would certainly be a hit.

My unturned eggs have never stuck to the side, but you do get a significant increase in day 3-6 embryonic death which is fairly obvious when candling after day 10 or so. On days 3-6 even my turned eggs (quail) all get sludgy, taking 15-20 seconds for contents to float to top when egg is turned during candling, this gave me a heart attack my first hatch but apparently it is normal as all my eggs do it. Careful, it’s addictive!

Welcome to BYC!

To see if they are stuck or not, you can mark one side x and the other side o. Set them with all the x's up, wait 30 minutes, and candle them. All of the embryos should be on the x side. Then place them o side up, wait 30 minutes, and candle again. This time, all of the embryos should be on the o side,
