Candeling day 10 ?

[Rooster Ray]

I have 6 eggs in a LG 9200 I placed them in there on the 3rd so I guess they have been in there 10 days. I candled them at 6 days and everything looked fine saw veins and a black dot moving around. Today I candled them and a few of them seem very dark and I really cant see anything have these eggs gone bad or does it just get harder to see anything at around the tenth day or so.

I can't say for certain without seeing in your eggs but sounds like the chicks are developing nicely. By the end of day 18 chicks have filled most of the shell and all you will see is the air sac at the top.

If they don't develop a funky smell or seep, weep then wait til the next candling day.

Sometimes seeing a picture helps try this site, there is a pic of what a 14 day chick should look like inside the shell.
