Hi everyone,
This is my first time incubating my quail eggs. I candled them today on day 7 and 3/5 eggs looked like this (see attached photos - I got these off google as I could take my own photos). I am concerned as all I could see was a smallish air cell and then darkness with a few veins. Is this normal??? The other two seem infertile. I’m concerned they’re dead... any advice will help. Thanks :)

#1 looks good.
#2 looks like a very early chick. It's alive though. You must have a cool spot in your incubator. Move that egg to a different spot. It looks only maybe day 4.
#3 looks like it has internally pipped.
They're all alive.

Update! I’ve just candled them again after watching a YouTube video and I could see very faint moving!!
