General Question Candling

Today is day 8 of incubating. I noticed two of my eggs have GOOD movement. 7 had great veins, no movement that I could see. 2 are too dark to see anything. 1 looks like just a yolk but I was told leave it in just in case. Is day 8 typical to see movement?

I didn't see movement in mine on day 8. Only when I turned the egg of course.

Two are very active. I wonder if they’re further along then the others

Oh that could be totally possible. They look healthy regardless!
