Unfertilized eggs?

[Harmoni]

How can I tell if I would sold unfertilized eggs? I bought 4 fertilized eggs from one person and 2 from another. I have a broody hen sitting on them. It has been 4 days. The buff Orpington eggs are basically transparent. That means infertile, right? Should I wait longer before contacting the seller?

I candle around day 6 or 7 but if you have a really good torch light to candle then you could at day 4 see veins inside your eggs. If no veins and you just see a yolk blob inside then probably infertile, just yolkers. Maybe wait a couple more days and candle them? What light are you using to candle?

Transparent eggs are infertile.

That's what I had read. I will try and get a pic tomorrow night.

I used an led flashlight.

You can also use a smartphone light also. Make sure your in a darkroom for viewing.

Not that I could see but we are only on day 4.

So do I wait a few more days or contact the person I got the eggs from? If I want to replace them, I assume I don't have a large time window.
