Whe do you remove eggs that do not look like they are developing. I am on day 4 and 5 for some... how long should I wait to be sure?

If you are still unsure, day 18

Sometimes, it is hard to even see the veins starting until day 7. On day 10 you should definitely be able to tell by movement, veins etc. If I question any at all I leave til day 18...much easier to tell then

I wait as long as I can, under my broody at day 4/5, 4 were questionable, by day 10 only 3 were questionable and my last check only one was obviously bad and i got rid of it. Its about day 15 I think. So had I chucked 4 eggs at days 4/5 I would have lost 3 viable chicks. The only exception is a definate blood ring, its gets chucked early on.
