The Candler is another ESSENTIAL part of my incubation tool kit. It cost me about $40 and is mains operated and a powerful LED light. Never any worries about being dim due to low battery power and without it I would never be able to assess in detail what is happening in the eggs. Its even powerful enough to illuminate Rhea eggs through their thick shells

On the subject of Africans we collect our young exhibition pair in a few weeks. They're decended directly from Holderread stock which are so hard to find in the UK. Cant wait
Balbinka, I put in a new batch of 11 toulouse on 4/20. They started out in another incubator and once my sebbies hatched out they were transferred to that one which holds temps and humidity better. These were just some eggs I purchased cheaply from a hobby farmer. He never hatched nor knew how to handle geese eggs for hatching, so Idon't expect too much to come from them and if I get nothing at all at least I tried and I'm not out a lot of cash. I candled just 5 last night and I think at least one is developing but I'll know better around day 10. They're so hard to see until then.
