What to do with non viable eggs under broody?

At ten days, an egg should not be clear.
As long as you have checked that egg is definitely clear, that one can be tossed.
The ones with bloodlines....any chance you could get a photo?
Just wanting to make sure none are being tossed that don't need to.

I have to take her off once a day (she was not eating, drinking or pooping) - so I will try and snap a picture tomorrow of the ones I am unsure of!! Thank you :)

My birds have never chucked dud eggs out.
The only two eggs a hen of mine ever chucked out were two good ones.
I left two eggs in last hatch that I knew wouldn't hatch. The hen sat on them all the way to say 21.
But I usually prefer to remove them.

I think I can safely say all three of those eggs are duds.
I know they are but would like confirmation from someone else.
Two I can't see very well but I still believe to be a dud too.
 
Just looking for opinions. We just candled eggs under our first broody and think 5/8 eggs look ok. Do I remove the three that are not good or just let it be? She is on day 10 and is a diehard broody. 😂. Thank you.
I would remove them asap only because if they break accidentally it will smell so bad and she will be laying in it and it will attract bugs or worse she could get infection

Thank you! I took a picture of this one too that looks good :). So many I can't tell because shells are so dark.
