Lums is short for Lumens as far as I know! and yes its a 3000 lums/lumens I researched to find the brightest I could get in the most handy as well as cheap!
I have bought up to 1500 lums and couldnt see into dark blue eggs, now they look like I am candling a duck egg, very quick fast and done. Love it!
Well worth the money spent and the rechargeable batteries rock!

I am trying to play catch up on all my messages and then threads...... but wanted to post first

Had to run Little one to urgent care and they sent him to ER for IV and tests for possible appendicitis, Thank GOD for test results showing not an appendix issue, he was sent home with unknown illness and with antibiotics and a check up tomorrow, is labs were bad, white bloods up and a ton of other things. Still high fevers but at least the motrin brings it down. I am not sure the hospital was a good deal or a bad, look how dirty that place is, I dont feel like I need to clean my house now! Good grief, this was our room at entrance in the ER Pediatrics!!! see image below!

We finally brought him home to rest and I checked that egg I posted the video of is pipped YAY for that at least, image below. I never got to the post office to mail the chicks out

4:30 was the last call for express mail!

And then I opened my mail and LOW AND BEHOLD there is my SPOT CHECK!
It doesnt work and we opened it and the battery is corroded to the point of RUSTING as is the internals on the spot check! NOT A HAPPY CAMPER!
I pray the day ends better than it has started! Now off to get to my messages and then read a zillion threads to catch up!

OMG! My dh just called me asking if the eggs should be moving. I said no. So he answered well one of the big eggs is rocking and vibrating on it's own. What's wrong with it? I actually jumped for joy inside Walmart as I quickly told him it was starting to hatch!! No peeping yet but ladies and gents I may be the momma to an Ancona duck by the end of the day!!!!!!

AWESOME! go duckies!!

I have a broody that I put a few eggs under. She was out just now so I looked and had one egg pipping and cracking shell. Should I leave the chick there if it hatches? Or should I bring it inside. It is a community hen house with 13 other hens.

OMG dont ask me about broodies, I swear I have no luck with them! I take ALL EGGS LOL

Took your advice and discarded our rolling air cells... took some video and photos first because I can't help myself lol.

Photo of one of the eggs after shell is peeled back. My friend who is incubating with me said the shell literally just peeled off - wasn't connected to the membrane like at all.

yup a def roller, too bad eggie and yes eggs have an outer membrane as seen here and then an inner membrane that holds the embryo, the air cell is above this inner membrane!

My Brody hen hatched 9 babies over the weekend! They are all so precious! A few mutts and some Easter Egggers!!

YAY a good broody!!! so cute!!

Look what my DH did! And it hold temps pretty good right in the middle.

I had just added the bantams so that's why the temps are low.

AWESOMENESS!!!

Oh oh! Before I forget I opened all the duds in my LG to clear room for new eggs and then I carefully opened them. Most were infertile but one was scrabbled and the goose had made it to day 5 or so. And it's air cell was fully detached. I took a vid of it after I took the to shell off but before I opened the inner membrane. Now to make YouTube work...
