Is it possible to work out what day chicken eggs are on though candling?

One of my silkie is sitting on two eggs and I’ve lost track of what day they are on since I did not think they would make it this far. You can see them moving and there is quite a large blacked out area in it. Is there a chart I could follow maybe that could give me a rough idea.
Thank you

Looks like a blue or maybe splash silkie.

Here's an article with pictures for every day of incubation. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/development-of-a-chicken-embryo-day-by-day.72537/

You're welcome. Hope you have a good hatch!

I candled them again and looked at the pictures and now I’m doubting if they are actually alive and if I saw them move or imagined it

Can you post some pictures?

Can you post some pictures?

Yeah. I’ll candle again before I put them to bed and send some photos then

Yes they do.

Give it more time. Is the baby still chirping? Is the beak visible yet? If it's been 24 hours with no progress I would carefully start to assist.

Where in the world are you located? It's hard for me to get a sense of how long it's been.

I live in east London. It’s been about 9 hours but I’m not sure when it first pipped.

Okay, that's good to know. I would wait till tomorrow morning before doing anything.
