Just candled eggs on day 18 but didn't look like what I expected? Help

How did that go? did they hatch? what day?

look here's a pic I got from silkiechicken. This was day 18 and you can see some veins

and by the way, I don't think they will be smaller

they'll be normal like all chicks.

What if the veins are redder than that and more abundant? Is that still ok?

I've been all-of-a-sudden having issues with my eggs (for about a week now) and I just remembered there was a power outage in the middle of the night while everyone was sleeping for a bit just around that time. I am still seeing development... I think.... but I just want to make sure it isn't bad development ya know?

Can you try posting some pics? and maybe starting a new thread since this one was created in 2011! But what I did when I had power outages, I would candle them and stare at them really hard to see if there was any movement. If there is then hopefully they should be fine but I would candle again 24hrs later to see if they're still moving. Do you know how long the power outage was? And I guess you're lucky I get notifications from BYC to my email address because I only check BYC once or twice a YEAR haha but I saw an email with your question so I thought I would help you out
