How early can you candle and actually see something like veins etc.?

Thanks!!

In white shells, I have seen as early as 3 days. In dark eggs, I have seen as early as 5.

I usually candle for the first time on day 7.

I don't candle til day 7, your eggs are most fragile the first 7 days and are not suppose to be handled.....my opinion....
