Bulk candling???

[Twisted Quail Acres]

We raise thousands of quail and currently candle each egg by hand. We are trying to make a candling box we can put a GQF tray of 120 eggs on and pick out the bad.... Does anyone have any suggestions?

Those are already available. Commercial hatcheries use them.

from hand candling trays to 50,000 eggs and hour with automatic removal.

Perhaps make a cart or box with a solid frame and a top made out of a modified setter tray. Illuminate the box and place an egg tray on top of it aligned with the modified one. Like a DIY version of this candling table about 1/3 down the following page.
