candling???

I've heard you can put a egg up to a light and tell if it is fertile. Does anyone kow how to make a candler? What should I see when I hold it up to the light? What about a home-made incubator? Can it even be done?

You cannot tell if an egg is fertile simply by candling. You have to incubate for a few days and look for the beginning of veins to show or you have to crack a few and look for the bullseye rings that tell you it has been fertilized.

Use the search feature. There are many incubators here. I have built a few and so have others. There are also photos of candling day by day and chick development.

The search feature is your greatest friend!
