You should see good veining and the embryo or eye...when I first started candling it was rare that I saw movement...but you can see it if you wait long enough and take your time....most want to hurry candling and get the eggs back into the bator...I use my light from the bottom upward and down from the top both to see well into the egg....

Hello,
I just candled mine. On day 7, all I saw was a dark blobe no veins. I will give it more time. Mine are a dark brown shell so it is kind of hard to see in there, except for the blobe that is in there.
