Use the brightest Led flashlight you can find (they don't generate heat while candling) or your cell phone like smschultz suggested. You still may not be able to see blood vessels or good details, but you should be able to see the embryo and possibly movement, and can see your air cell growth. Good luck!
But, I have to figure out what I have room for and what I can make room for.
Lockdown started. Now I wait. Started with 26 eggs, 24 in lockdown (2 of my purchased araucana eggs were infertile). All had movement in the eggs this afternoon (except I can't see anything in the remaining 4 araucana eggs but I set them anyway).
Well, I am a bit bummed. My one and only bantam egg was clear. Rats! I lost my only bantam hen and her egg was not fertile. Also, lock down of the olive eggs isn't until Tuesday.
On a brighter note Cupcake is doing beautifully, and my white chick with the dark spot is feathering out a rather interesting pattern.
What do you think. Little girl or little boy. (Yeah, I know still too early to tell.)
The little (no so white) white chick looking at itself in the mirror. Lol
Hmm still too early for me to tell lol. At about 3-4 weeks I can usually tell on the straight comb breeds. I love the pattern- almost looks like it could grow out to partridge type. I have an EE that looked similar as a baby. I'll see if I can find a pic for you.
12 were refrigerated (but free and fertile) so not sure how well they will hatch.
