    How do you candle Brown eggs?

    I bought this one from Lowes. It is model # SL5W09L. It has 192 lumens. It has a rechargeable battery that they claim will last the life of the unit. I paid $40 +tax.

    Quote: I am sorry to hear that you lost some during shipping. I read about many that have. Mine were unharmed and my ebay seller will receive a nice follow up. Good luck to you on the remaining eggs.

    I am new here, but I'd like to join in. I set my first eggs ever at 7pm Sunday. I have 15 shipped buff orpingtons. My first two days I was running 1° low. But thanks to my homemade latex wiggle inspired by member greathorse, I now have a handle on the temp. I also have 5 young buff O pullets...
