Please make yourself at home and we are here to help. I have never candled/hatched/incubated before. But I've attached some links that should help.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Mountain Peeps gave you some nice links to check out to figure out how far along the eggs are. Were you able to get the eggs in an incubator right away? You might also want to post in the Incubating & Hatching Eggs forum if you need info. www.backyardchickens.com/f/5/incubating-amp-hatching-eggs

Are you seeing movement? From the looks of the darkest side, I would guess..about 6 days.
