Candling question

[Knighstar679]

I have a dark blue egg which has been set for about ten days now. I can’t for the life of me see any veins in these eggs. I lost one to a red ring today and the other I am seeing movement in when I shine my flashlight into it. Does this mean I likely have something growing in there? Because I still can’t see any veins through the shell.

If you are seeing movement, then there is some growth happening. No need to see the veins at this point. What breed is the 'dark blue egg'?

At day 10 without veining, I would get rid of it, I just throw away 7 Eggs Today at day 11 since nothing going on there after I candled with my phone.

It is from a Cayuga. I think a Cayuga/Rouen cross but the person I got it from said two Cayuga parents for sure.

O boy, if it’s Duck Eggs, it takes longer (28 days?) so don’t chuck it, my bad.

No worries I also have issues seeing anything through this shell so it wasn’t smelling or anything so I figured I would give it until day 14 to see something in it.

Today it seems to have paid off with this shadowy figure moving when I hit it with the flashlight and the egg was still. So here is hope.
