So I just candled my hatching eggs to make sure the air cells are in the right places, and it looks like one of the eggs is partially Incubated. I'm not 100% sure, but it does look like it. I picked the eggs up from a breeder, and she claims that she collected them yesterday. I trust (ed) her, she has 800+ 4-5 star reviews on Ebay, so ya know. Pictures attached.

The egg does not look like there is any development. You actually see a dot with spider veins first.

Eggs are fine and you may be seeing an nice orange yolk, which is a good thing

Does the dark part move when you flip the egg over? It could possibly be scrambled up from shipping.
Not really. I picked them up from the breeder and had them sitting on a pillow while I drove home, so I don't think it would have scrambled. If it is scrambled I assume that it won't develop/hatch, right?

sounds like that half of the shell might just be thicker than the other half.

it shouldn't be scrambled if that's how they were transported. If it were scrambled it would not be able to hatch.
 
Just did my first candling. First off, only 3-4 eggs out of 15 are definitely doveloping. 2 are definitely dead, and the rest look infirtile, but I left them in there. I checked on the weird egg, and something's definitely going on, whether it be rot or dovelopment. What do you think? Pic included.

I'm still not seeing any veining. What day are they on in the incubator?

Could you try getting a picture with the light on the other end? Or does it just look the same?

I would leave it in unless it smells bad. Something is happening. :fl
