Candling Am I doing it right

[terrilhb]

Ok put 10 brown eggs in the incubator on the 31st. I took a box and cut a small hole in bottom. I set the egg with the pointy end up. Put the flashlight underneath the box and looked in box. All I see is little spots everywhere. Am I doing this right? What should it look like?

Here you go, great pics at most stages of development and instructions. These are ducks, but it will still apply:

It's really too early to candle--you should wait till about Day 7-10
