First Time Hatcher Question!

[bantam0907]

I have a silkie hen who is setting on 6 eggs and she has been sitting from approximatly April 8. I candelled the eggs last night and i was hoping someone could tell me if the were fertilized. I can see a shadow in the eggs but i thought that was just the yolk but then some of the eggs didnt have the shadow so i was confused, any input appreciated!

Egg 1

Egg 2

Egg 3

Egg 4

Egg 5

Egg 6

I would think you would see veins by now. Here is a link to what you should be seeing for each day compliments of Hondo 58 who gave it to me:
