Veining at 4 days (candling) good? Weird yolk? *ADDED PICS*

I know everyone says 7 days to see the air pocket, but I wanted to sneak a peek since I had never candled before. I candled about 5 of my eggs quickly (out of 21 or so) and all seem to have veining and a red dot (NOT a circle) in the yolk part. Is that good?

I also candled from the small end. Since the eggs are in a Autoturner positioned small end down. It seems like the yolks are all the way at the top (large end) of the eggs? and they don't seem round, they seem to be taking up just the top. They were shipped eggs. I'm worried they might have gotten knocked around to much, or maybe I'm just being paranoid?

I'm going to try for a pic, dunno how that will go.

Sounds good to me. At least, that's I see the few times I've candled at Day 4.

OK cool, freaked me out for a second I was like "Oh noes postal delivery service scrambled my eggies!" I founf someone else on here that posted pics on day 4 and it looks exactly like them. I even see the air pocket!! (I should see that right?)

Here's some pics:

Kinda hard to see, sorry I decided to wear gloves just in case.

That's a beautiful start! They are developing embryos now and not 'just eggs'.
Keep them growing!

yeah they look great! I just took a cool video of one of mine at ten days, but i don't know if you can post those here, so I had to settle for my FB page.

Well done as they look fine and you'll see rapid growth and changes from this point
