How can you tell if eggs are fertile after candling, what am I looking for.....

At this stage probably not much. First Blood veins will appear around the inside of the shell. Then you'll be able to see a shadow. Somewhere in around a month or so you should start to see them wiggle a bit. Just to be on the safe side, don't throw out any until they mold. Sometimes those deflated and dented ones come through just fine.

Just look out for red veins. Candling eggs is so cool..
