Candeling help

[ryanhodapp]

I just candled my eggs that my cochin bantum is sitting on. I have all kinds of eggs under her, 2 bantum, 2 EE's, 3 Marans, non of them are her eggs because I dont have a roo.
I could only see through the shell of one bantum egg and saw little veins and a black spot. Hurray for me! Question, how do you see through those darker colored shells?
(only day six, did I candle too early?)
Help appreciated.

I just don't worry about them. I candle white ones some just cause I am amazed but I try to leave them alone.

I don't candle eggs under a broody either. She knows way more than I ever will about setting on an egg!

thanks, I appreciate the feedback, it is just my first time and I am impatient.

Patience is the key to hatching!!! lol Sit on your hands and let her do the work!!! Keep her fed and watered. She knows what she is doing!!!
