To Candle or not...

I really would like to candle my 12 eggs under my broody hen, they are about on day 8.......do you think it would be fine? Or should I wait?

Take them out after dark so she won't be stressed.

I always wait until day 15. That way, you know for sure if they've got a baby growing in them or not.....If I candle during the first week, I'm always sorry, because I'm never sure......
