HOW TO CANDLE EGGS

There are two different ways to effectively candle eggs. One pertains to shipped eggs and the other to non-shipped eggs.


When candling shipped eggs FOLLOW this:
1. With a flashlight ALWAYS keep the eggs upright, large/fat/air cell up, its best to leave them in the egg carton. ALWAYS candle from the FAT end/air cell so it shines DOWN through that open space into the egg, AGAIN, put flashlight on FAT end/aircell and hold egg upright/fat end up and do not turn or rotate egg, rotate flashlight!

2. When candling shipped eggs extra care must be taken to not dislodge the aircell when candling.


When candling non-shipped eggs FOLLOW this:
1. With a flashlight or other candling aperture hold the egg at a slight angle, large end to the light. Making sure your fingers don’t block the light, turn the egg slowly until either you see something or you’re certain there’s nothing to see.

2. Again candle carefully so as not to dislodge anything.


This is a good short article on reasons to NOT candle too much.

FIRST IMAGE....
is only to show you how they cup the end of the flashlight in their palm to protect egg and send light down into egg.




THE SECOND IMAGE shows you how to hold the egg UPRIGHT and candle down into it!
AGAIN, ALWAYS keep fat end up, at candles when they are messed up from shipping!









LIKE THIS ONE!!!!

this is my set up.....
I need to see into Marans and CCL eggs
1" foam pipe to LED light
image was posted for helping me from @R2elk here on byc but mine is the exact same now

I also have a mic stand to use when I mark aircells, its alot easier with it to hold egg in one hand and write with other, not bothering with holding flashlight.


Testing ONE TWO--- Hey Mike, this thing on?

HANDS FREE LOVE THIS!! It came this morning and I just candled three trays of eggs!!!
LOVE I CAN keep eggs upright!
All I need is to find a rubber tip for the end of my light and I am good!

Another thing I will say AGAIN!!

THE CANDLE DAYS 7 14 18 ARE NOT SET IN STONE!!!

Candle 3 eggs every other day or so AFTER day 10 and follow the air cells a bit CLOSER visually!! You will find you have more time to catch issues and adjust humidity!!

@Sally Sunshine just curious. When candling eggs, is the scented candles better to use then the non scented ones?
