How many days till I take them out

Do you need to candle them? unless i need space in my incubator i never candle my eggs. Not candling only affects your hatch rate for the better. The less you handle the eggs the better your hatch will be. I touch my eggs once when i collect them, once when i set them in the bator and once when i move them to the hatcher and thats it.
 
Sounds good I am just trying to hatch a few to breed them but idk about the eggs I got them off of a guy and don't know how fertile they are or anything is what I am worried about
 
In the future if you get a load of eggs off of someone you don't know and have no idea if the eggs are fertile, you can crack one open and there should be a bull's eye spot in the yolk. This tells you the egg is fertile. Of course you can't do this to every egg, but if you have enough of them, you can experiment with a few so you know you aren't getting ripped off.

You don't have to candle if you know you have fertile eggs. As DC does, as long as you don't have any cracked or funky eggs in the bator, just let them go full term. It is fine to have eggs in the bator that don't hatch.

This is what the "bull's eye" in the yolk Leyla speaks of looks like in a fertile egg.... If it were not fertile, It would only show a pin head size white speck....
