That's RAD! What is the light source? I'm planning to candle duck eggs in two days on Day 7, which I know is early. The incubator is full, and fertility is unproven, so my thought is I can replace the clears with chicken eggs and they "should" hatch on the same date. Hopefully they'll look like your photo here but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Thanks! These are the first for my new paint cockerel, so I am quite pleased.
I use the MagicFly rechargable candler and a very dark room. Works on blue and brown eggs, too. Got it on Amazon. Doubles as a great flashlight, when I go out at night to check on the birds.

Wow! ..I struggle to see inside eggs with my bright torch at day 7! What do you use?
... Nevermind! I see you replied with that info! I'll have to look that candler up!

Or is it the camera and photographer that's awesome?

I know you are not asking me, but I use a flashlight. Candle in pure darkness for best results. Even a small light lamp will cause issues when candling.
