Okay, so I really wanted Welsummers, so I ordered 6 hatching eggs of that breed. But I am having a hard time telling if they're developing. I finally was able to see one today from egg 16, only because it was moving, and I was just able to see it. I have another Welsummer egg, egg 17, whose air cell is completely detached (moving all over the place), so I have it upright in the incubator right now. Trouble is, I'm not sure it's developing. At least with egg 17, I could kind of see "redness" and confirmed the embryo was alive seeing it move, but this one almost has a yellow look to it (as if clear). But it's hard to tell. Any thoughts? I also have a shipped Light Brahma egg, number 7, who I believe is an early quitter, but I would like to confirm with others.
For comparison, this is my confirmed living Welsummer egg 16
And this is egg 17 who I am not sure about
This is the Light Brahma egg which I believe is an early quitter (I see only 2 veins, one on each side, and a spot which looks like the embryo, not moving. Plus, I would think it would be bigger by now).
Edit: I forgot to mention that today is day 7
