Candling

[Bell Street]

I candled on the 10th day and found all the eggs had the yolk shadow on the top of the egg in different degrees going down towards the middle. They are shipped eggs standing in a auto turner, fat side up. I did see a few (3 out of 20) eggs with blood viens. Is this normal, or should I be removing them?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
At 10 days they should all have veins. If not, they are not viable.

Hello, and welcome to BYC. At 10 days veining should be visible unless the shells are very dark.
