I put the eggs in after 12-24 hours after arriving from shipping to help the eggs stabilize the internal temperature. The temperature for the incubator should be 99-100F no more, no less with a humidity of 50%.

I would guess in the day 7 range.

Thank you so much! The photo was taken yesterday but this morning it seems like it's developing a eye and when I candle it it moves is that normal?

Sounds like a healthy egg. Is it actually on day 7?

I am not sure the eggs were shipped for 4 days and left under a heat lamp with no development visible for About 24 hours then added into a incubator ever since then the egg started developing quickly.
