Grab some goggles, and give them the sniff test to see if all or some are stinky, and report back.

Did I read it all wrong????? In my "research," I thought you see a "bullseye," when you crack an egg open, and that is how you can see it is a fertile egg. How can you see a bullseye when you are candleing?

You say when you candle that 1/2 the egg is dark and 1/2 is light. Isn't that how it is suppose to be? The "veining," can you see that?

I have not done incubating yet. But, I thought, from what I have read, that you should see, "veining," around day 7 - 10.
Good luck.

If the egg is half light and half dark there is something developing. If it weren't developing it would be light all the way through. Day 8 is still a little early to candle.
 
Do you see any veins at all in the egg...is the egg dark or light? WHat are you using to candle with? Its gotta be a real good flashlight. I use a little maglight i got a walmart and it really works good. The other flashlights i've used wont work at all and i cant see the veins to know that something is growing in there...*did any of that make sense?*

bullseye i meant the lil dot that starts. no veins~ half dark/half light and air sac moves from top to bottom of egg.might crack one open to seewhats going on. the bator stinks and i think i see that blood ring thing.
 
First of all, calm down. Rage or panic is never helpful at all.

Look at the eggs. Any that have dried goo on the outside have oozed, and are bad. Remove them. That's what it sounds like you have on the ones with a pinmark bubble of something dried up. Get rid of those. If you open one, do it outside. Preferably inside a plastic bag.

Once the stinky eggs are gone, the smell should fade quickly. If it doesn't, there are more bad ones, OR there's stinky goo in the bator that oozed from the bad ones.

You can't see a bullseye when you candle. That's what you look for on the yolk of an opened fresh egg, to see if you have fertile eggs at all. That's not something you'd want to do with purchased, expensive, shipped eggs. You can't see a fertile dot when you candle.

After you remove the stinkers, wait until day 10. Candle again. If they are developing correctly, you should be able to see veining and maybe even see the little dark embryo moving around. get a really bright little flashlight, like a mini maglight or a 9 LED flashlight, put in fresh batteries, and in a darkened room, wrap one hand around the end of the flashlight, so that you can place the egg against the circle of your hand. do this by placing the upright egg, small end down, against my hand. Then, keeping the egg upright, I move my hand around to shine the light down through the big end. That's where you should see veining and movement.

If you aren't sure, and they aren't oozing or smelling bad, leave them in. They'll hatch or they won't. If you have rotting eggs at day 8, they were either old when they were shipped, or got left out in the heat a long time while shipping. This time of year, it's hard to say for sure that they were old. I probably would not buy from that person again, though.
 
I just saw you said the air cell moves around. That's bad. I have seen a few folks manage to hatch those, but it's difficult.

I don't see how you expect to see the dot through the shell. Did you look at the pics on the sticky on how to tell a fertile egg from an infertile one?

Blood ring, if you don't know exactly what to look for, you might mistake veins for a blood ring.
