I am kind of worried now, I'm not for sure if I got scammed but the eggs seem to only have a yolk, is the yolk supposed to be the opposite direction from the air cell?

Yes, my temperature is 102.5 degrees my humidity is 55%, and my eggs are much lighter I don't know if that is bad or not.The yolk moves around inside the egg, more so in the beginning and less and less as the embryo grows. If you candle an egg from the fat end at the bottom of the air cell down then the yolk will move toward the top of the egg away from the air cell. However, by day five you should be able to see some development. The yolk will be larger than in an unfertilized egg and move more slowly inside the egg, plus there will be clear veining in a spider-like pattern on the yolk. If you are using a good candler and the shells are not too dark and you DON'T see any veins on the yolk, then the eggs are most likely not viable. However, to be sure I would wait another few days to day 8 and candle again. Are you sure your incubating conditions are correct (temp and humidity)?
With a temp at 102, I am assuming that you are using a still air incubator, correct? Are you hand turning? When you say that your eggs are lighter, what do you mean?Yes, my temperature is 102.5 degrees my humidity is 55%, and my eggs are much lighter I don't know if that is bad or not.
The egg will lose weight as it is developing but there should not be much change only 5 days in. Perhaps a couple of grams at most. How did you weigh them? Did you use grams on a digital scale? Anyway, wait till day 7-8 and candle the eggs very carefully. Do it in a dark room with a good candling device, a bright flashlight is OK. Let us know what you see.Yes, I am hand turning, and when I first got the egg's they were heavier than they are now, is that supposed to happen while they are developing?
I will definitely keep you guys updated and yes I used a Digital egg scale to measure their weight.The egg will lose weight as it is developing but there should not be much change only 5 days in. Perhaps a couple of grams at most. How did you weigh them? Did you use grams on a digital scale? Anyway, wait till day 7-8 and candle the eggs very carefully.
