No that's cool. When you say upload, would I do that via the "My Page" link? I've only really looked around the forums and haven't really looked at anything else on BYC. Will have to get better acquainted.

I think the key to candling is having a really good light source and the room being really dark. This is my first hatch too. I tried candling the turkeys on day 7 but couldn't make anything out so I re-jigged my makeshift candler (a lamp that I was previously using a piece of card over - substituted the card for a can with a hole drilled out of one end and positioned that completely over the bulb and then sealed the seam with a black sock - very resourceful me

) and the latest version is really good - excellent visibility. You'd have to be an idiot not to be able to see SOMETHING with the clarity of this new set up. But I totally agree though, photos will be REALLY useful! I've got one that definitely started developing but I'm really not sure where it's at as I haven't seen the actual embryo like with the others - so with that one, I'm stumped).

This is so exciting and I can barely contain myself. I have bored all my friends and family senseless with all my ramblings lol. Can't wait for the babies to hatch!!!

Then it will take you back to uploads window , click submit it takes a min. but its easy . Hope this helps.

Well I candled tonight and I found veining and a dark spot ( thats the embryo) in all seven eggs that I checked (looking good)

. The pictures don't really show the veining to good but in most you can at least see the dark spot.

I candled mine last night too. I didn't check them all - just looked in six. I could see definite development in three of those. My camera is totally rubbish though so there was no point. Thanks for the pics!!!

Can I hop in on this thread? I set 12 mixed eggs in my Little Giant still air. This is my first 12 eggs! I am excited and will candle tonight!

Welcome Crissygirl. Good luck with your hatch.

The Rcom's are more popular over in the UK than the Brinseas it would appear. I would probably have gotten one but the Brinsea was cheaper.

Thank you. This experience is awesome!

I got it from jmt distributors online. It is sooo great. This is the first bunch to go in so we shall see how it works. I was looking at the Brinsea Advance EX, but these cost about the same. I like that the r-com doesn't have a seperate humidity machine and all that tubing.
