Candler

[poultryfan73]

I am trying to look for a GOOD candler? Anyone know where i can buy one? i dont want to make a homemade one because they never seem to work.

There are fancy expensive candlers around, but its hard to beat an old slide or film strip projector.
Duct tape a cardboard tube to the lens and you can candle anything except an Emu egg.
Intense light with no heat and a great view. Ask around, someone you know has one gathering
dust in a closet or attic somewhere.

I purchased the Ova View candler from Cutlersupply.com last year and have been very happy with it. It was 38.95 but you may be able to find it for less on ebay or other supplier.

Thanks for this information. We have one of those just sitting around. I never thought about using it to candle eggs. I am in business for the next batch of eggs I hatch. THANKS AGAIN.

My suggest is buy a bright 150 lumens LED flash light. Costco sale 3 in a package for $20. It is bright enough to see through Marans eggs. You can setup for any egg size you like and can be use as emergency light.
