Hi everyone. I am new to candling and going by some pics to compare my eggs to expected development. I candled several eggs today-six at day 7; one at day 10 The eggs are under a broody hen. She gets off the nest at least once a day for about a half hr.
Would love to hear from those who know more than I do about progress in these eggs. thx!!

NB 5: pics 1&2. Is this a blood ring/early quitter?

B2: pics 3&4. developing, not moving yet. Looks stuck to side—is that triangular shadow normal?

B7:pics 5&6. no air cell but could it poss be a late developer?

Pics 7,8,9 Are these infertile?

Pic 10- def developing and moving.

Bumping. Need advice concerning egg in pic 1 and pic 3. Pic 3 looks stuck to side of egg. Humidity has been very low, about 40%- eggs are under a broody hen. tia
 
None of them do.
The very last picture is the only one that looks decent.

What are you using to candle and are you candling in a dark room?

I’m candling with a mini mag light. Room is the darkest I can get—I prob could go into a closet. I’ll try and find a brighter light and repost pics later. I’m most concerned over NB5 the first two pics- Thx.

The first pic..I see one faint red line, on the left, that can't possible be a week old.

If you are seeing more veins and movement in person it may be ok.

I candled today, three viable eggs remaining. Total novice at this. The clutch is staggered by 5 days under a broody hen (dumb on my part).

I am hoping to get opinion on dev day to make best guess at hatch days so as to have a plan of action for incubation due to staggering.
Would you mind taking a look and correct my guesses? Am I candling these eggs upside down? Some candling videos said fat end down but that’s the air cell. I’m so confused 😐

NB2. day 14 video. Egg set on 5/29-looks like 14 days to me
B2 set on 6/2 video. looks like day 9-10?
NB7 (two pics below) set on 6/3- looks like day 7-8?

ETA: thread title change
