After 30 days?

[RocksMama77]

I have two eggs that are now about 30 days along in incubation. I can no longer see through them at all. They are perfectly shaped without mold but I can't candle them anymore. When I candle my newer eggs I can see them light up with a pinkish color or they light up with a yellow color(infertile) but my older eggs I can not see through them at all. Is this good? I am obviously new at this and can not find any info.

That's the baby As the hatchling grows, it takes up space in the egg making it appear black/dark when candling.

It's usually harder to see anything with "older" eggs since the baby begins to fill the space. It's really worth it to just not worry about candling or disturbing or handling the eggs in any way. They will either hatch or not hatch and messing with them doesn't do them any good, even though it's tempting. I've gotten healthy babies many times from eggs where I never really saw anything (back in the days before I learned to leave well enough alone).
