Question on Candling...

[vortec]

I candled my eggs tonight as it was day 5 of the incubation. I first candled a super market egg and then the eggs I was hatching and as near as I could tell, all were fertile. Some though, were iffy. I couldn't really see veins but they definitely were not clear. Is day 5 too early or is it that if they are not clear then they are fine? None of the eggs were clear, just dark. Some you could see traces of veins forming, so I knew those were good. Also, after these questionable results, when would you candle again? Thanks for any help in advance.

I usually candle again at day 10. I toss any clear ones If I am not sure about an egg I leave it in the bator as long as it does smell or is not weeping.

Thats what I elected to do. I honestly couldn't tell so I opted to play it by ear and figured that surely by the next candling I could tell.
