Hi everyone. I candled my silkie eggs today. One group is on day five the other group is on day six. Out of 14 eggs 10 are going strong. I can't quite see in the egg I got out of the backyard. It's a huge brown egg from one of my barred rock hens. Does anyone know what it means when I candle and see like a floaty shadow? I can't see veins in these but don't want to throw them out prematurely. It looks like a slightly darker area that will shift around when I turn the egg in my hand. Thanks for any advice.

i know exactly what your talking about. Your basically looking at the yolk at this point. Look carefully tho....if you see a small spyder-like figure with red leg's...your egg is just now starting to grow. I normally do not candle this early...but i have before. You just need to keep a sharp eye when doing so. If you see a small figure moving back in forth inside the egg with every turn of your hand...it could be a dislodged air cell.
