Candling

[pfmoore17]

well 4 dys in I had a low humidity so i had to open my bator and add some H2O.
i rearranged some eggs that had been moved in the turning (I have an ECO w/ an auto turner)

i candled a few eggs using a mag light flashlight (2 c batterys) and couldn't see nothing.

is it too early or my eyes stink?

Day four, you should be seeing something. If the eggs are white its pretty easy to see through them with a really strong maglight, an LED is even better. You should see some veins by now.

Make sure you're in a totally dark room and give your eyes time to adjust to the darkness before you try to see anything. If you see a big dark yolk, no veins and it sloshes around easily then its no good, but if your not sure, give them more time, don't chuck them until much later and you're absolutely sure they are no good.

Here is one of mine at day three or four candled with a maglight LED.
