Quick question on candling.

I have two eggs that have been incubating about two weeks at this point. One of them very clearly shows the bull's eye and veins when candled, the other still shows nothing (yellowish) but the egg is still turgid like it's supposed to be.

I understand you should be able to see something fairly quickly, but should I assume this egg is infertile? I am going to leave it in incubation until the other hatches, but just wondering if I should only be banking on one hatching.

I have had eggs that show nothing when candled hatch. I can't tell you what to bank on but you're doing the right thing by keeping it in the incubator.
