I'm 24+ weeks, and just hit viability! Babies growing well, cervix is stable. Just did our first set of steriod shots and now we wait until 30ish weeks for a repeat.

Still on progesterone shots weekly, and daily suppositories, but the doctor thinks Anytime after 36 weeks, I'll have the baby! we will see! Are the holidays here yet? can we skip all of this?!

After hatching so many marans, I needed a good one! It's 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 know I don't explain things the best, here is a photo..like I said, have been using this for yrs. And yes, that tape is fine, gets a bit warm if I take a long time candling, say..30 eggs. Never been a problem overheating though. Cynthia12

I just clip it on the bottom drawer when I want to candle.

Try more than one flashlight for dark eggs!

If you have a cell phone you can use a flashlight app to candle. It works quite well.

Hi Pensmaster! Did you get your rain?

Just starting. I have several roosters to go through today. Seems like every weekend there’s a reason not to. Going to have to get it done today though. The brooder chicks are getting big enough to go out from the barn to the coop.
