I don't do very well candling eggs. On the thought that you should handle them as little as possible, should I give up candling altogether? Is there any regime that you all stick to for candling? I mean, which days of incubation do you candle them? Maybe if I canded them always on a strict regime I would get so I knew what I was seeing. I cannot even tell what a blood ring is and I HAVE looked at the pictures. Thanks
Maybe if you just candle somewhere between 10 and 14 days. By then, it is definitely obvious if their is a chick growing in the egg or not. That way you will know which eggs to toss, to avoid a stinky, nasty egg explosion in your bator. Here's a link to a great page on candling. It helped me a ton in the beginning. http://www.shilala.com/candling.html
