It's really hard to explain the difference until you see it yourself. I looked at a lot of pictures and tried to compare, but until I could see one that wasn't developing next to one that was, it was hard to say for sure. Yours looks good...the dark area is larger than a yolk would be. Good luck on your hatch!

Wait till you see the veins! It is always a very excited candling time for me when the veins are very apparent!
