Chipmunk Chicks

Hey guys, this is my first hatch from my favorite Black Australorp hen, Sydney, and my great big, gorgeous rooster, Othello. I am kind of bummed here.
I see one egg looks pretty porous, and the rest...? I just don't see anything that looks like clear development. I thought I would be seeing blood vessels forming on at least *some* of these here. I set the eggs almost a week ago, last Sunday evening, so 5/19. (These were taken Saturday evening 5/25).
She had been with him several times before I took these, so I don't see why every single one would be not developing. I see plenty of bullseyes in the other girls' eggs, too, but I don't know if that necessarily means everything is working properly.
Any idea what's going on here? Or how I should be handling this differently? I have five more eggs of hers I've been collecting this past week, getting ready to set in my other incubator - just hoping for one more tomorrow morning for another batch of six. TIA!
