Candling. The big commercial farms always have access to equipment that none of us can afford. I'm sure they aren't candling with a flashlight and a square of cardboard.
So it is very possible that they have equipment that can sort eggs by quality, even when the shells are dark. For all I know, they are using something different from candling. It's difficult to imagine that they are selling millions of eggs and a human being is sitting there looking at them one by one.

Dr. Bramwell has an incubator/hatcher he uses at the Arkansas State Fair. These Naked chickens are very polular along with the Houdan/Silkies. Folks get to actually watch them hatch! This last year he brought some older Naked chickens to show off. He told us at the Incubation Seminar that if you can raise a Naked chick to maturity and get it to produce, you can traise anything. He mentioned one "friend" over in Oklahoma that had actually been able to raise some. I think he was talking about Banjo.
Well sure would make cleaning and processing a breeze.... but man sorry JMHO but they are uglyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Sorry again. Kim
Also wouldn't they freeze in the winter even in a mild climate?????
I can assure you, your chickens are just as U-G-L-Y-!.......if you removed all their feathers!
Yes, they must have a heat lamp in even mild climates. However the Israel Naked Chicken http://animal.discovery.com/news/briefs/200206/nakedchix.html has actually done well. It is a bit different in color to Dr. Bramwell's version. He is also not the creator. These were coming from a friend's flock being developed for Asian markets. Dr B thought it was neat so got some hatching eggs. Some have started calling these the Razorback! Not sure if the developer has named them anything.
Again, not a Naked Neck. [From what I read] The bird pictured died young and left no offspring,
Some do die young, but if given proper heat and nutrition, they can survive well. It was developed from a Naked Neck. Not all die young as he is still providing some folks with hatching eggs from his breeder flock.
My "B" blue eggs are due to hatch on the 4th or the 5th.
My "B" blue eggs are fertile. Candled them last night. They hatch 4/16.
Who else has some "B" or "L" eggs set from UA?
