Maybe I am just being impatient, but I put my eggs in the incubator on Saturday and today thought I would candle a couple to see if anything was happening. It does not look like there is anything going on in the eggs. Should I see something by now? Is it too soon? Help me out, I am worried I have unfertilized eggs.

You should see some veining but it does take practice, patience, a bright light and a very dark room. Ecspecialy if they are brown eggs. I did mine on day 7 since I was new at it and it seemed to be a little easier for me.
 
Ok, well they are brown eggs. They are RIR's. I cannot see any veining yet, but I will check them again on the weekend and hopefully there will be signs of life. I will be quite disappointed if they are unfertile. I think I am more concerned about this process than any of my 4 experiences with childbirth, LOL.
