OMG! DH had the same idea yesterday! He said Look the egg fits on top, and flashlight fits right into the bottom.

It worked well but I think the flashlight needed to be a bit more stronger.

We use the flashlight and tolietpaper roll tube too. It works great for free. As far as not seeing anything. We have RIR, BR, and SLW in a pen with a Silkie Roo and a Phoenix Roo. The eggs are pretty brown and at day 7 we couldn't see a whole lot but maybe a dark spot and pores. On day 8 my boyfriend thought he would check and see if we were right on it being a dud....nope we were wrong, we last one egg. We candled at day 14 and it was much better, easier to see. So don't give up yet! Also some chicks might be a little slower, due to a number of reasons.
