After I decided I'm not going to pay $20 or more for a candler, I fashioned one of my own. All you will need is a box (any small box will do, I used a pop tarts box because it is made of thin cardboard), a small flashlight, tape and scissors. Total cost? About $5.
First I cut a small hole in the side of the box in which the flashlight would be placed.
Next I taped the flashlight to the inside of the box with the button facing upwards, the lighted side facing the hole.
I turned it on, just enough light streamed out through the hole and once I put an egg up to it, it lit up perfectly, even dark shelled eggs like Coturnix quail that are otherwise hard to see.
I just thought I'd share this with my fellow BYC folks
