First timer Candling.. Thoughts?

[Serenity Lane]

I candled from the top tonight {carefully} and saw definite veins in 5, movement in 4 of those 5, I think 2 bloodrings, and 3 porous eggs with a whole lotta nothing inside.
There are no smells coming from any of the eggs. I left them all in there since I don't know what I'm doing and I could be wrong.
Is it safe to assume that I can leave them in another couple/few days to make sure they're not going to be viable?
Thanks again for the info/advice!

Yeah, it's safe to leave them in there a few more days. This is my 1st hatch. I did a lot of reading prior to this and still reading.

The ones with blood rings are done for. The blood rings are caused when the embryos die usually within 1st 2 or 3 days due to bacteria. That is most common reason for it that I have read. I have also seen where they said the heat was too high. I tend to believe the bacteria. Otherwise, most or all your eggs would have blood rings. That's my logic on it anyway.

Blood rings are the result of early embryonic death. The ring forms when the blood vessels break down and blood pools inside the egg. Blood ring will look washed out and you won't see any other veins. If you see veins then it isn't a blood ring

Our first batch is hatching right now. We left our clear eggs in till day 10 just to make sure they were blanks. They didn't smell at all. I even cooked them up and gave them back to the chickens as a treat.
