Help Candling

[MsBagawkbagawk]

Could somebody post some pictures of eggs being candled in different stages. Can you see the yolk when you candle? I have some blue and green ones that have loose light colored material. Not a dark spot, but kind of yellow looking. I'm candling some to make sure they are good to eat, not to incubate. I'll post some pics of the eggs in question tomorrow. Thanks guys!

Here is a link for candling https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...-trying-to-win-a-photo-contest-with-my-chicks
You can also put them in water if they float - toss them out.

I think that was the wrong link. Could you try again?

I knew about the water trick, but I thought that was just for age of eggs.

Thank you!

Thank you! That helped a lot. My problem was that I wasn't sure if a yolk shadow was common in green eggs that are either not fertilized or not incubated at all. That answered my question!

That's fine, it was a good link anyway!

I think I've got the hang of this, but could I get a second opinion?

This one is bad (I mean, not safe to eat) right?


This one is bad.



This one is bad.



This one is bad.



This one is good right? The dark spot was moving around a lot. Just more like a yolk, not like an embryo.



Good?



Thanks again!

Looks like you got the hang of which eggs are good to eat and which you wouldn't want to.
