This candler from Amazon. It was a gift! It was plug-in only, which I wouldn’t like for candling outside, but I’m glad I didn’t have to worry about the batteries dying.

HBlife Bright Cool LED Light Egg Candler Tester for Watching Eggs Development, with 2 Soft Rubber Attachments for Eggs, Powered by Power Cord Only https://a.co/d/aSeRKU8

Thanks. I keep looking at them but haven't done it yet. But the flashlight is so hard since the eggs don't block all the light.

This one was great because it had a little rubber ring attachment you could put on and right up to the egg. I was very impressed for $16 that it worked as well as it did!

after going back and forth I went with the magicfly rechargeable mainly because I don't have an open outlet near my incubator with out unplugging something..... It will be here Fri.

Now do I use my flashlight and try to block as much light (or the incubator light) tomorrow night at day 3 and hope to see something..... Or wait for the candler on Fri day 4 when I really should see something if anything is going on......

Prue did not get off her nest yesterday, which was day 18, when I checked on her she was just clucking softly in her nest. I'm glad no one knew I was walking back and forth examining the run looking for a giant broody poo A guy at my work said he just hatched with a broody and they hatched 2 days early, I'm going to check before I go to work and again while I'm doing errands for work, if they're hatching I'm going to become suddenly ill, lol

Yes!!! I would get killed if I ever remotely thought of getting those - so let me live through yours!!!

OMGeeze if one of my babies went broody I'd have to take a vacation for hatching til they were all safe and sound!!!
I can't imagine...and can't wait! Oh the excitement! Which baby will get to have babies first!?!

Mine like to hatch on day 20 for some reason. both under a broody and in an incubator. But both times a broody has hatched one they have gotten off the nest after it externally pipped. I keep hearing others say theirs don't so maybe mine a broken? LOL

good luck and can't wait to see pictures of the babies!!!!! Let's go babies!

mine are hatching at day 20; can hear cheeps and the sound of breaking eggshells and the broody softly clucking to encourage them
