I did it!! I candled! Pretty happy, found 23 of 78 clear. I need to report to my breeder that his silkie roo is not doing the job as I took 13/17 out. Luckily all the egg I candled today were freebies. I still have 11 purchased eggs that I will candle Monday.

Someone asked for a candle pic, here it is!


BTW: What do you guys do with the eggs you take out?

Those percentages aren't bad.
I just throw them where I do dead chickens (far enough away from where the chickens live that the chickens and predators won't get the idea that there are chickens around).

Well, with that many guineas she shouldn't have any predators, insects or reptiles hanging around. What are lizards? Are they reptiles, too?

Yeah, lizards are reptiles.

Really, just putting up the fence. He is really awesome in tolerating my hobbies. He grumbles a little but he knows if Mama's happy, everyone's happy.

I want to get 2 females, bred and a different male. We aren't planning on going into breeding but I want to keep the option open. We are so in love with our little boy now. We wish both our girls would have delivered so there would be one for him to play with.

I didn't know they made 3 lt bottles.

Come to think of it - they don't anymore. They did for a while but I have swiss cheese for brains sometimes and the part that should be there saying that they haven't made 3 lts of Coke for years must be where one of the holes is. LOL

He was just born in April. We have a ways to go. Just now getting him accostomed to a halter and teaching him to mind his manners. All this is new to me with the llamas. We have had the ladies since last April and they are certainly training me.:/

@Penny Hen here is the link to when we built it. The top we made broke and the fans in the pics are broken so they would have to be replaced.
