Candeling blue and green eggs at 7 days

[Northern Simple Living]

Hello! We are incubating our first eggs and they are blue and green. I'm wondering if anybody has any pictures of typical development at this stage with these shell colors? I'm having a hard time seeing through these shells and wondering if they are looking like they should? Thanks!

Can you candle from the fat end / air cell end, and take a picture. It's easier to see something that way.

Hi! I am incubating blue ameraucana eggs, on day 10. I could not see anything in these eggs until yesterday. You can try to use your I-phone camera flash light if you have one. You have to hold the egg in your hand and then hold this over the top of the "fat end" to see the air cell, turn the egg over and you may be able to see the chick embryo from the other side.
It is very difficult and takes patience. I find these blue eggs even harder to see in to then the dark brown marans eggs. Try the candling thread, may help.
Good luck!

I'll give that a try tonight. I am so new to this, I though you couldn't turn them pointy side up! .

Here are the ten blue and green eggs I candled. They are 11 days in. Cream legbar, Americauna and olive eggers. Any of these look promising at all? Or any I should toss? I'm thinking the 5th and 6th photos look no good. Photos 8 and 9 are of the same egg from different sides. It looks okay on one side and empty on the other. Is this one bad too? The other eggs seem fuller from all sides. I still cannot see any distinct veining but think I can see some dark spots in some of these. I'm a newbie so any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

5 and 6 look like early quitters - I would hang onto 9 for a little bit though it is a bit suspect and likely not good either. The rest look like they're doing good Nice!
