Candleing help!

In light colored eggs with easy to see shells, and with correct temps, veining and the first of development can be seen as early as day 3, but in darker shells it may take 5-7 days to really see development well. Most of my eggs are light colored. I can usually tell by day 3 which are fertile and which aren't. Here is a day 1-5 pic of a hatch I did last year. This is typical for what I see in my light shelled eggs.

My eggs are slightly darker. Would you be able to just take a look at my eggs below (all are different eggs)

This is Day 9:

This is day 8:

This is day 7:

Do they look normal for which day they are on, or should i be concerned?

I'm not seeing much of anything with the pictures. I would not make a guess based on these. If you shine your light directly into the air cell it will illuminate your egg better.

I have candled the eggs but going at a different angle and i have successfully found the air sac. All three eggs have developing air sacs now. This is a sign of development, right?

No, all eggs, even non fertile eggs have air cells that grow. All eggs loose moisture and this is what causes the air cell to grow. Candling down into the air cell though is the best way to monitor air cell size and see development in the egg.
