When can you candle?

[LovelyBantam]

I have candled my eggs that have been in the incubator for three days. I see nothing but red. Some of them have a bunch of spots when I candle. Is it too soon or do I have zero fertile eggs?

Some people suggest you candle after a week. Maybe this'll help:

I have already read it, but thank you. I can't tell if I have a porus egg or it is just normal.

Even porous eggs will develop. But you wont see anything obvious for development till day five to seven. Alot of handling the first few days in not good for the developing veins they are very fragile. So leave them alone for a few days and let them "cook". You should see changes when you look at them again.
