Harmful to candle egg too early?

[M0therGoose]

I am on day 3 with goose eggs. I know I should wait till day 7 but I am DYING to take a look NOW! Would this be harmful, even if very careful? Thanks.

well you can look, but guarantee if you haven't got a strong, i mean really strong candler. You won't see anything in a goose egg. I have a goose egg and I have a professional candler and I only saw something inside (a shadow of the embryo at about day 14!).

It's up to you, but thats my advice.

it won't hurt the egg. people tell you to wait until 7 because thats when it really starts developing and you can tell whats in there etc.
