look at the sticky at the top of this topic. there are candleing pics of the progression. All Black is usualy a good sign at that stage- the baby is just taking up all of the space.

I am at this stage to about either day 17 or 18. most of them are all dark. I saw a chicken foot in one of them today... so cool.
some didn't have a lot of movement in there. prob difficult to move arround.

At this stage they are supposed to be all black as the baby is taking up all the space in the egg.

Don't worry to much! Look at this link, if you havent already. I belive this is what BarefootMom was talking about ~
