Candling eggs- what does it mean when an egg is yellow vs red inside?

[Anonymous__]

I candled some eggs from the same batch and the same flashlight, two bantam eggs were different colors inside. One was red and one was yellow inside when I candled them. They were refrigerated so they probably aren't very good for hatching but I'm curious why the two eggs are different colors when I candled them. Any idea on what it could mean?

What day are the eggs on? Could you post pictures of what you are seeing?

This is what they look like. I haven't tried incubating them, I just candled them and they were like that.

Are the shells different colors?

If your just seeing yellow, it's either from a broken yolk or not being fertile.

Refrigerated egg can hatch chicks as long as it's fertile.

They are both white eggs. Do all infertile eggs turn yellow or will some also stay red?

Fertile productive eggs develop red spider web veins that is visible with a flash light.

If you see a red blob floating around in the eggs, it means it developed then died and in the process of rotting.
