Candling: go to walmart....get the ozark trail OT-250L flashlight..it will candle golf balls, bowling balls, red bricks, cinder blocks, caskets...seriously...this flashlight will candle anything...if it wont...(but it will)..save ur receipt for a refund (u wont need it).

It isn't hot though is it? Don't want to burn their feathers before they get them.

So, if it looks clear at 7 days should i take it out and throw it away now or wait?
I keep smelling my eggs cause some of them are dark. Glad no one has seen me sniffing my eggs! When does water candling work? That seems like it would work better than my nose.

You throw it against the kitchen wall & see if it sticks!

Okay 11 clear eggs and 1 blood ring out of the bator. So 20 eggs still in the running with 3 = " ? " 1 being a cracked one that was repaired.

Now for the hatch rate (not for HAL contest), do we throw out the clear eggs and count what hatches out of fertile eggs (for our own records) ? I think for contest it's based on how many set to how many hatches.
