yes!!! it looks like the first pic when i candled today... nice pic what day are those ?

The first one was day 8 and then day 10 after I got a brighter flashlight.
Someone told me that it was the membrane forming because it starts off like that and then gets larger as time goes on.

Who said that they are all dead? They are still developing. How much movement can a little blob make? It is still very early, with almost two weeks to go. You need a better light to candle them with. A regular light bulb isn't enough to be able to see all of that stuff. My flashlight that I got has 143 lumens and then I could see the little black dot and it would move a little bit. If you dont know what you are looking for, you might miss the movement too.

You won't have to wait until day 18 to know. Post a picture at day 14 with the light shining through the large end of the egg. There should be a definite air sack there...no question. If there is not, it didn't make it.
