I just candled my eggs at 7 days, all the duck eggs are awesome! Got my little spider-vein looking business going on inside just like you see in all the pictures!

My turkey eggs not so much, two are looking good after a considerable amount of more looking as they are a little darker in colour and have spots. One I just see a large dark area but I think I will check this one in a couple more days as might just need a little more time but there are two that I have questions about...

1) It's runny! As I move it I can see liquid sloshing around in there and I didn't see this in any of the other eggs.

2) It appears to have red lines, but I can't see that spot in the center of them, PLUS, I think there is a very faint crack in it that I didn't notice on day one. I'm thinking this one is a No-Go, and I should pull it asap...

Feedback please!

Thank you!
 
Duck eggs are my favorite to candle since they easy to see inside.

I think I would pull the runny egg as that may be the stage before you get the rotten egg and leave the other for a couple of days. I don't know if it will develop but sure hate to pull it to soon.
 
Yes, probably should - are they not fertilized when runny?

As for the other (cracked?) one, it's the tiniest hint of light shining thru and it's about a 1/4 to a 1/3 of an inch long - but I'm not positive if it's cracked or scratched and just showing more light thru. I didn't even notice it last week when I put them in... and I went over them all and didn't put another one in cause it appeared mildly cracked.

Thank you for your input corancher.
