@KDOGG331 what are you using to candle the eggs

I’m not sure yet. Gotta find something. We have a few flashlights I might try.

That is awesome!! Mine probably would too. My case has the little square around the camera/flashlight too. May have to try it

That’s a good idea.

I wanna candle mine so bad but I’m waiting till dark.

Probably can’t see anything at 3 days anyway.

You should be able to see something by day three.
Try the white egg first.
I can already see something in one of my quail eggs.
I only looked a few this morning though but could see something happening in one.
I will look at them all tonight.

Thanks!! I might wait till then then. Idk yet.



that’s what @Texas Kiki does!! She candles every day.

I’m trying to control myself



Thanks, that’s a good point. I think I might. How often do you think I should weigh them?

And I set them Friday around 4pm so it’s almost day 3 now.

Day 3:

Kelsey when you do decide to candle pay attention.

Be quick but gentle.
Keep the egg steady...don't twist it around or shake it.

Ten seconds...you must be quick. Don't stare into the egg for minutes.

Look quickly and put it back...steady and slow.
