I'm not 100% myself but I'd rather incubate them for a week or so and see

I haven't candled them yet

I found the smaller one (on the right) on the 15th Jan and the 2 larger ones (on the left) on 23rd Jan

The two large ones are not as white as the smaller one but they are a lot more 'fuller'

What do you think. I know you can't really say until I candle them but anyway. What do you think

Same with me. And I thought I would wait a few weeks so they can develop a bit more and so the veins would be more clear to see. I'll incubate ten til they go moldy :)

I think I'll incubate them when I get home :)

When I candled mine after 3 weeks all I saw from the otherside was a red glow. No veins vessels or anything. I belive they are still good becuase both had dents and not both dents are gone. One if a few days the other took 2 weeks. After 3 weeks should I see anyting when candling?

If it glows red there is an embryo in there. If it glows yellow then the egg is infertile. Temperature determines how fast the embryo grows. I started my first eggs incubating at 90, I saw growth after 1 week of incubation. Someone incubating at 80 would not see the same amount of growth I saw after 1 week.
It is safe to say no matter what temp your incubating there will be significant growth after 4 weeks.

It is also safe to candle. The eggs wont go bad if they are tipped a few degrees in the opposite direction.

Today is day 51 for my first 2 eggs. Both eggs are the same as they were when they were laid. Maybe a tiny and I mean tiny bit bigger. The eggs are the same color white as when they were laid and the shell is harder than the laid day. Should they grow much and should the shell soften. I have temps the first month at 81 to 82 and after that I raised it a bit to 83 - 84. I didn't want to raise it too much as I have 2 other eggs that were laid 1 month later. Also how long does it take for an egg to develop from beginning to laid?
