DIY Egg Candler | |||
[FONT=times new roman,times]Since my small mixed flock of chickens and ducks (Guineas too!) are all free range, they tend to lay eggs scattered around the acreage and in the cactus. All my birds are good layers and I get an average of 12 eggs a day (half chicken/half duck) The guineas became broody almost overnight once they laid a pile of about 20 eggs - but this worried me as I lock all the birds up together in the bird house at night for safety and this nest is outside the birdhouse. Since I decided to build an incubator, I need to be able to tell if any of my eggs should go in it. Currently I have only had 2 chicken eggs sat on by a broody hen - all the duck eggs I crack open to feed my dogs have been sans fertilization (despite rampant duck sex). So a candler is in order. Why do they cost so much!?
