Candling eggs

I was wondering how often you should candle your eggs. I candled them when I put them into the incubator but haven't since. I'm at day 33 and all eggs still look like they did when I put them into the incubator. There is some condensation on the inside of the tub but it never comes into contact with the eggs.

I never candle eggs. They go in the incubator and I look at them once in a while but that's about it.

I'll generally candle them after their laid just to see if they're fertile and to tell which way is up. After that I don't mess with them anymore.

I candle before I put them in the incubator and that's all.

Ok thank you. I keep reading people's posts on Facebook saying the keep candling their eggs. I will leave them alone until day 45 when I remove the press n seal

I also don't remove the press-n-seal until after they've started to pip.

oh I thought you remove it about 2 weeks before they are supposed the pip and then open the tub every other day to get fresh air in.

You can if you want to, I've just never found it necessary. There seem to be a lot of people out there giving advice that want to make this process a lot harder than it really is.
