Day 5 pic. Help

Hi

This is a pic of one of my eggs. They all look like that except one. Are they growing or dead? This is the first time I have ever done it. One looks different. It has nothing floating at the top but I can see a red ring around the shell. Any advice if this is working would be great.
I am totally new to this and don't know what to make of this.

anyone????what are your thoughts?

Its a little early to tell, I would give them a few more days then post again

I too would wait a few more days .
Day 7 is usually the key day for candling though you can see some growth earlier.
Also I would lay the egg on its side - easier to see the veining and the embryo when it is not bunched up in the small end of the egg,

Here is a picture of one of my eggs on day 7.

ok. I think I am just nervous. THANK YOU for responding to my craziness. The students and I are so excited. What about the one that has nothing? It looks like a red ring around it? Leave it for a few more days?

Again....thanks....

I believe that one may be dead. But like the others have said it is a little early yet. I would give it a few more days as well.
