Egg candling?

[Hanna710]

I’m not sure what exactly I’m looking for. I’ve looked online but its not helping much. Can some of you respond with some pics of healthy eggs at 7 days and dead eggs? Some of my eggs have small veins and look good but others are large somewhat dark spots and wondering if these were normal. I got them last Thursday, and they were laid Tuesday or Wednesday. It’s my first batch of hatching chicks and I may be a bit paranoid. These are 3 different eggs.

Honestly I can't see much on pic 1 and 2 but three is definitely developing.

Here's a chart that you might find helpful. There's too much light showing off the sides of eggs 1 and 2. Are you candling in a dark room with the pounted end down?

I'm pretty sure 2 and 3 are doing well. Good luck!

I agree 2 looks ok, 3 looks great, 1 is highly suspect but hard to tell in the photo- I’d give it a few more days and try candling again

Here are some great candling pictures. Good luck and have fun...
