I have to also have a dark room to candle, but if she has been sitting for 28 days then in the next couple of days you should know one way or the other, Did she come out today as normal? when hatching starts she will most likely sit tight, so watch for the signs. And if she does come off the nest check the eggs, look for external pips and also listen because you might be able to hear the peeps of the gosling.Hi,
we don't have a candler so we tried to use the flashlight and toilet paper roll trick, but she won't go off at night and since she only goes off for a very short time we don't want to carry the eggs too far (where it's dark) and when we tried to hold it in a dark corner in the barn we could not see anything ... as in the light was not bright enough or the shell was too thick... she has been setting for about 28 days.
Any other tricks on how to candle an egg without a candler?
Thank you very much for your reply!
