Please help me identify if these eggs are progressing well or should be pulled. We are on day 5. Is there a certain day I should wait for before I pull them?
Here are two that I thought looked good:

and here are three that I’m unsure about.
First one I see a large red ring surrounding the veins and the other I see nothing much going on. Thank you for your help! I’m a newbie!

Hmm, the first 2 are still good, I'm not sure on the third, there does appear to be a slight blood ring but I'd leave it a few days to be sure, the last looks infertile.
 
I never candle my eggs until day 7. If by day 10 some if the aggs look bad, I'll throw them out.

Day 5 is too early to know for sure. You could end up throwing away good eggs.

Ok good to know! I’ll wait until day 10 before I do anything. Thank you!
 
All the ones that show the spider veiny development are normal and look good. Even the one that may possibly be a blood ring is likely just normal veins, these can look the same at this early stage. I agree that you should hang onto them at least until day 10 before making any decisions. Agree the last one looks like it is infertile. You can safely wait until day 10 to decide. 😊
 
1-3 are viable. 4 & 5 are most likely not. I'd give them another 3 or 4 days and candle again.
