Day 5 of mother hen sitting

[jessicachick23]

Hello. My little bantam cochin has gone broody for the second time in her life and this time I am letting her sit on the eggs. She sits on them all day long except for her couple of breaks a day to go potty and eat. Do I need to be candling the eggs? I tried candling one today and it just looked like a yolk inside. I have a rooster so they are definitely fertilized. Just looking for help along this journey. Thanks in advance.

try candling them after 7-10 days

I agree with previous poster... candle day 7-10 should see veins by then.
