Help!!!

[Islay]

We received our shipped eggs they were in bad condition a few air cells were detached, can anyone help me this is day 5 of incubation and i cant see any spider veins, can any experts tell me if these eggs are viable or not??

If you could candle from the air cell you might be able to see something. You can repost pictures and I can give it a shot but you won’t see anything candling from the bottom at the stage. My dark eggs keep me guessing till day 7-14 sometimes!

Hi

Hi i really think we have lost them no change since yesterday.

Hi! I have never gotten shipped eggs before, but I do have my first batch of chicks sitting under one of our broodys. I candled them earlier this week and they looked like yours at day five or so, but I candled them today and I have veins so you just need to give it a little bit longer maybe! Stay hopeful and good luck!

They don’t look infertile. I can’t see any spider veins but my yolks usually look like the last picture you posted when they are early on. I think there’s still hope can check them again in about 4-7 days.
