I mark mine with x's and o's so I can be sure that I'm turning them properly.

Ah, thank you! I wondered if it was to keep track of turning, or for something else.

Today is Day 8 for me and i candled some of my most active eggs and the veining isn’t as clear and the egg is harder to see. I can still see the black dot of the eye in the embryo in some I’m just a little confused because the veining was soooo prevalent before.
