Up at the top of this is a LOCKED thread. It's a sticky - it says READ ME on Hatching. In it is a TON of links, including links to candling. You should read all of it.

There is one link with photos for what they should look like at a bunch of stages, air cell information and a thousand other things you need to get familiar with.

Welcome to the addiction

I ♥ this addiction

Can you candle eggs that have been in the bator for 23 days or just leave them alone?

 

[walkswithdog]

It depends how the whole thing went as to whether I check at 23 days or not. If temps ran low for long periods then no. If everything ran on the money I've been known to check then. It's a feel you get, unfortunately it's over time. So you kind of have to make notes, analyze and form your own instincts. Some check on 23, some wait til 24/25.

Good luck.
