Goose egg candling confirmation ?

[Excitednewbie]

Would i be correct in my assumption that these goose eggs are NOT fertile?

They have been in the incubator for some where between 8-10 days - we had some unexpected really wet days and the humidity was running fair high for a while, im now running low humidity and the air sacs have grown some what in the last couple of days since fixing the humidity.

Are they totally infertile or could they just be slow developing due to incubator conditions?

At 10 days there should be noticeable development. They all look infertile.

Thanks for the reply! I thought this was the case but not having candled goose eggs before i thought i would check so i can learn what infertile looks like

Good job on taking such good pictures!
I agree that they don't appear to be developing.

Thank you! Maybe i should take up photography instead haha

One more question that i am seeking answers to - i also have a broody goose (they are young this is their first year laying) and she is currently sitting on about 8 eggs, i have noted the date that each egg was laid and left with her, the last 3 days she has been sitting full time and very rarely leaving the eggs - do i start counting incubation days from the day the first egg was left with her or from 3 days ago when she started sitting full time ?

I would think it is from the time she started sitting full time
