Egg Candling! Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices.

Just in the evening when you can make the room completely dark. Unless you have white eggs you won't be able to see much for the first couple of days.

Ok I have no white eggs. Cool.

My preferred candler is the Power Lux hand held / torch, which I find to be brilliant! Hand held, operates either plugged into power or via a portable wee battery pack. The lumens are high = very bright light = candles dark eggs easily!

There are a multitude of cheaper candlers out there in a similar style - all of which are also acceptable if you don't mind a little less brightness and slightly cheaper quality.

Would a high-lumen flashlight work?

Edit: Never mind. I skipped a page.

Yup, it's my favorite tool for candling. That's what you see my hand glowing with in all of the candling images. lol
