Just want to show pictures, what you can see if you candle.
1
Not fertile 4 days old
If this does not change the first week nothing will happen. Older eggs get blurry.
2
fertile 4 days old
Wait untill 7-8 days to candle with dark coloured eggs and eggs with a strong shell.
3
14 days old, you see movement in the egg if the embryo is alive
4
20 days old

I wouldn't bring it up to your nose, in case it decides to explode then. I'm sure you could sniff it from a safer distance. If the egg is oozing from a crack, etc. in the shell - carefully get a plastic bag around it, tie it tightly closed and bury it .
