Eggs on day 18

[Chriskits]

Hey y’all, I just candled my batch that is in the incubator and noticed that about 7 of them are only dark on one side, it’s day 18 and don’t know what to do, or if this is normal. I’m new to hatching, so anything is helpful, thank you.

Do you have pics of what you are seeing when you candle? If you do that would truly help others see what you’re seeing.

Do you see movement? Veins?

I can’t really, I use my phones light to candle. I’ll do my best to describe it though, the eggs are all dark on one half of the egg from tip to the air bubble, there is no movement of veins

Sounds like they may have passed away. Where they in a turner or were you hand turning?

Do any of them smell because I would suspect that they will soon...

I used a cheap turner from my local feed store, none smell so far, I’ll keep a eye out just in case.
