So I ended up taking over for a hen that abandoned her nest. There 6 viable eggs after candling last night. With that said they seem to be days apart. I’m newer to incubating and candling.
I have two eggs that are mostly black due to the chick being bigger already.

Can anyone help me guess their age ??
Not sure when to stop turning eggs and put them into lockdown 🤷‍♀️

Not sure how the others are doing since I put them in Lockdown. Hoping the others don’t take too much longer🤞
