Too soon? (newbie quations)

[havi]

These are pictures I took just now of the eggs I have. Sorry for the bad photos, these were taken on my camera phone. This should be day 5 and not what I thought to see. From the pictures Ive seen online, this is not what I should be seeing on day 5. Whats going on? Can they develop faster by any chance?

Too soon, I've hatched for years and don't start candling til day 7 and then only from the Big end down into the egg. I only candle on day 7, 14 and 18. Some do it differently.

Day 7 you will see veining and a small dark spot moving that is the embryo.

So what is the dark circle in the middle then? When these eggs first arrived I candled them to see if I could tell they were fertile or not. I didnt see anything, they were clear all the way thru(except a bubble in one). So I decided to go out there tonight to see if I could see anything and this is what I saw.

You can not tell if an egg is fertile by candling early, the only way is to wait to see development of veining and the embryo. The dark part would be the yolk where the veining and embryo start from if fertile, if you candle down from the top the air sac is at the top.

I would wait a couple days and candle again and see if you see a difference.
