At 7 days I’d expect to see a good amount of veining. If your eggs are really dark eg Wellsummers or Marans it may not be very evident though. A non fertile egg will just look clear. If in doubt I leave mine in the incubator for a few more days.

I don’t have many candling pics but there’s some good videos on YouTube. In the meantime here’s a couple of duds. Pic one is a quitter (note no veining, just a dark, dead mass) important to remove that although this pic is more than a week in. The other pic is an infertile egg. View attachment 1468463

Hahaha... Yes I did it. Although I'm not sure on some of them! I couldn't tell if it had died or if there was a random short dark line running vertically through the egg. Also, I saw what looked like the egg was growing on one side of the shell...hmmm. Other than that they look great lol
