Is this how my chicken’s eggs are supposed to look?

[ChickensAreGoat]

my chickens recently started laying, and I decided to incubate! I got an incubator off Amazon, and started incubating. It’s day 9. The first picture is a fresh egg, the 2nd is an egg that’s been incubating for 9 days, and so are the rest of them. The first 3 are welsummer eggs, the 2nd 3 are alchemist blue eggs, and the last 3 are olive eggers. Is that how there supposed to look? Thanks!

2,3,4,6, and 9 appear to be developing.

Okay! There’s not supposed to be any veins or anything visible yet?

Because of the dark coloring of the eggs, veining is difficult to see.

Okay, thanks! Do you think it’s safe to say by now that eggs 5, 7 and 8 are bad?

May just be infertile, also at least in quail eggs, you see veins day 3-5 (17 day incubation) but they ‘go inside’ again until day 10 when you can get a nice glimpse before the whole thing goes dark with a chick. Hopefully you get a few fertile light eggs too, it is fun to watch development. You can also open duds to learn more about the process (they actually rarely smell), enjoy!

Okay, cool! Thanks!
