Candling dark brown eggs

[Chicalina]

Does anyone have a photo of a day 6 or 7 egg candling of a dark brown egg that I can compare with my eggs please?

Mine are Welsummers but Marans or similar will do, I need a dark egg picture and the internet is not being helpful with this specific request.

It is so hard making out any shapes through the dark shell! It is like looking for shapes through thick fog whilst wearing sunglasses. I need to make some decisions about which to keep and which to give up on.

By comparison, I have some pale beige Barnevelders in the same clutch and can clearly see veins, a dark area, and even movement in some. I confidently pulled two of them today that were clear.

TIA

I always waited until day 10 or later to make decisions on very dark shelled eggs.

I'm going to agree.

Thanks I will do that. Not rushing. I just want to get it right.

I have candled eggs many times from canaries, ducks, chickens, and ostriches but I cannot see through the dark Maran eggs I currently have. Does anyone have a suggestion? I even obtained a bright LED flashlight but did not work.
