Day 12 is it safe to candle?

Is it safe to candle all my eggs at day 12?I looked at 3 last night and i can see 1 of them moving inside the egg.I have never done this before.

Totally safe! Good luck! You're almost halfway there!

Absolutely! It's as safe as any other time, but more obvious than at earlier times.

At day 12 you should be able to tell which eggs are growing and which are not. You should see veining and movement in all eggs that are good! How exciting! Candling is one of my most favorite parts about hatching. If you look closely, you might even see a little chick foot!

Ive been biting my teeth to keep my hands off of then until last night.I just did a dozen before and none developed,i was so happy to see 1 moving.

I try to wait until day 10 but I usually cave at day 7.

Good luck on your hatch!!!!
