I've used them for that too. Works great.I just bought a kiddie pool....but not for me. It is for our dog - she is due to have puppies in a week (give or take)! Afterward, I will repurpose the pool for another duck pond.
Hi Karen!View attachment 2066064
This is the first out from my eggs that were set too early for this hatch along. Hopefully a couple more will hatch tonight or tomorrow.
This is my first time hatching eggs and there are a lot of things I don’t know. Is there a specific reason to candle it the other way? I was worried that if I turned the large end down, that it would disturb the air cell. I had some of these eggs shipped to me so I was especially worried about those. I also wanted to trace the air cell, how would I do that if the large end is down?Candle fat end down.
You want to see the air sac. Helps you see what's happening with it. Then when lockdown comes, you will want to mark the sir sac. I always like setting my eggs with the higher point of the sir sac up..or, if it's a saddle shaped air sac, I'll place it with the high sides ..to the sides. Hope that made sense.This is my first time hatching eggs and there are a lot of things I don’t know. Is there a specific reason to candle it the other way?

I candled my duck eggs a lot last time I did it and nothing bad happened. We got a lot of happy healthy duckling. The person who I hatched them for actually sent me a video yesterday of them.Day 12 duck eggs. Swishing around in there like crazy!
While reading up on hatching duck eggs I keep coming across a rather ominous bit of advice NOT to candle duck eggs too much. Are duck eggs really that much more sensitive than chicken eggs in this regard? I love candling but I don't want to do them any unnecessary harm. I understand the risk of something happening any time there is handling of the eggs. I hand turn. So they're being touched already, many times, throughout the day. Is there any other reason not to candle?

Hello all! I’m new. I’ve been trying to get my ordinances changed for over a year to get chickens and no luck. So I ordered quail eggs! I set 15 eggs on March 26th, wasn’t until that night when I did the math that I figured out I should have some babies on Easter!
