Is it normal to see liqid moving when candleing eggs?

[Shadow Source]

Hello!!!!

I just candled my shipped eggs, most of them had liquid moving inside of them. I spent about 80 dollars on these eggs, it would be a BIG BUMMER if they all died. Their air cells looked ok, they were all intact, they seemed to be packaged well, and only one egg was cracked during shipping. Is it normal to see that? I am using a little giant egg turner, I have noticed that all of the chicks that I have incubated started developing in the top of the egg then worked down to the pointed end of the egg. Can someone help?

Thanks!!

Are you sure the liquid moving isn't actually a chick? Can you take pictures?

Yes, it is only day 5,

I hope those aren't blood rings!

They don't look like blood rings to me. They're usually darker in colour. I'd mark your air sack in pencil and re- candle in 5-7 days time to see if growth is progressing.

Good luck!

Normal development...

Ok just had a panic attack, being a young person, I had worked really hard raising, and selling chickens then almost lost all of the money I have tied up in the eggs. I thought

Candle eggs from fat end of egg, where air cell should be.
