K, now I have another question, how can you tell if the egg is clear? You just can't see anything except the air cell in it, not even the yolk? I think I have 1 with a blood ring too :/

You are doing great.

I usually put a ? on them and check again at 14 days, I have been pleasantly surprised.

K, that's what I did. Im keeping a journal of everything I see when I candle them. I left the 1's that I think are clear and the suspected blood ring in the bator. I'll check them again on day 14.

If it's clear and you can see into the egg... it'll look something like this:

Holy big picture....lol Stole it off Google, didn't realize it'd be that big....lol

K, yea, 1 looked like that for sure. The others had the dark shadow from the yolk and possibly the embryo shadow. Some of them the shells are just too spotty to really tell. There were 3 that I could see the embryos and 2 more that I think had embryos but couldn't really tell just yet. I'll post more pics on day 14.

Usually you can see the outline/mass of the yolk in a clear. This pic is a poor illustration of that, but the egg lights up like that with no development (veining dark [eye] spot).

This is a video of candling a GLW egg while my youngest was visiting from England this summer.
