If you have a strong candler, but I'd personally wait until day 7. Best not to do it too often either.So should I be able to see veins on day 4?
Yep.OK, on day 7 should a flashlight work fine? Also, when I candle, should I throw out eggs that are clear?
If it's a good bright one, and used in a dark place.OK, on day 7 should a flashlight work fine? Also, when I candle, should I throw out eggs that are clear?
X2. A strong torch works best, I had a weak one and as a result almost threw out some eggs that later hatched. If in doubt, don't throw it out.If it's a good bright one, and used in a dark place.
I'd wait until day 14 or so to throw out any duds, since you're new to candling.-
