Help is there a chick growing Day 7

That would be highly disappointing
How many is she sitting on? Im sure some will make ut. Out of 30 eggs, ive discarded 5 so far and 14 of tgem are too dark to candle do thats just a waiting game

I’m using a broody hen, be a shame to have her sitting and no babies.

Viable dark brown egg

You can see it on yours , I think it wasn’t dark enough out to get a clear view.

I honestly think maybe candle in complete darkness...if you see no veining at all, its a yolker. That just sometimes hapoens.
I just took those pics minutes ago and the one i broke open had my sons name on it. He is very disapointed.

As far as the yolk following u and rising when you candle isnt really a great sign. Sorry to be tge bearer of bad news. But dont give up quite yet

It is a light colour egg, but I’m wondering if it was dark enough as I couldn’t see it to well, but should it be all on one side like that?

O now, hope he can chose a new one. I think complete darkness would be the answer, thanks for your help.
