   Can anyone out there tell me the name of a good candler that will candle brown eggs. I need to be able to look for blood spots in my eggs before I sell them to a few people. A homemade candler would be o.k. if it will penetrate brown eggs. Any help would be appreciated.

   Hope you find this link usefull it's about home made candlers. I personally would reccomend a Brinsea ova view candler. It has a good led light easy to handle and the rubber ring that goes on the egg has a good seal that makes all the light go into the egg. Also candling in a very dark room also enhances what you see in the egg.
   
   Best of luck to you.

   Boy, I can hardly see a developing embryo at day 7 in a brown egg......not sure you could see a blood spot.
   Wonders what they use in a commercial setting?
