hi,
you can candle them at anytime but it can stress the little ones out. remember they are not used to bright lights shining inside the egg.
we use the light from a mobile phone as it doesn't give off much heat and whatever you do don't move the eggs.

good luck,
cath

As cath and tam said really, it can stress them out so dont do it too often. Ive been advised to candle them when there around 2 weeks old to look for veins and then leave them to develop
