Do air cells indicate development?

Ya I know... But there is a silkie i'm still not sure about gender wise so this is just a confirmation that I either do or don't have a rooster.

Are these all very young Birds?

I breed Silkies... post a pic, lets see.

Veins are usually VERY clear by day 7 in Silkie eggs. With little experience I would wait until day 10 before tossing. Darker looking yolks and larger air cells don't mean much... as folks have said... evaporation takes place with or without a live embryo.

Did you also post pics of what you thought were the bulls' eyes?

Sure. You have to look closely to see the ring.
