I am the World's Worst Candler. No kidding. If they gave Olympic gold medals, I'd bring home platinum.
What I do, is whenever I lift the bator lid to add water for humidity, or, if not - once or twice a week, I lift the lid & give a quick "sniff test" -- I quickly run my nose over each egg & sniff it -- if I don't smell anything "off" then they all stay. I have once or twice smelled "really bad eggs" -- trust me, you will know it if they are going rotten -- and I very carefully and quickly remove those & take them out to the field. Those eggs have always been dead - bad - rotten.

Not every egg left has always hatched - but, I've never had one explode in my bator. So. trust your nose.

Thank you I will keep my figures crossed and hope for the best. I would feel terrible if I was to through a developing one out by mistake. I had a rotten one my hens were setting on and I wasn't thinking and just threw it in the woods. When that thing exploded about 30 sec later the smell hit :sick I do not want that in my house lol.
 
Found some we're going to pick up now :) Fluffy butt gave us bunny fever!

Only cure? MORE COWBELL! Errr I mean MORE BUNNIES!

Thank you for the info for those of us that can't seem to candle. I think eggs stink normally (yes I love eating them), so knowing that they will smell completely different puts me at ease. I was hoping that it wouldn't be a slight difference that I wouldn't notice and then have a problem.

Oh no, if they are going bad, you will defniitely know the difference in the smell! I think they smell bad normally, too, lol!

I know they smell - hmm, how to say it -- 'hot'? when they are in the incubator, but if they are bad - it is totally different, I've always been able to tell right away when one is going bad.

I did successfully candle (altho they were all clear) peacock eggs last weekend with a Brinkman 2 million maxpower spotlight. I did an egg-topsy on each one after the fact & they were indeed all infertile so I do trust that light. I can see across our 10 acre field with it at night, so, yes, it's pretty bright. I have candled chicken eggs & seen embryos moving around, so I do know what they look like.
 
So he left for a new Zealand doe...came back happy as a kid on a candy store with 2 PREGNANT does (like gonna pop next week lol) a Buck AND a chicken for me that the lady told him lays blue eggs lol.
Have no idea the chicken breed, probably an EE if it lays bluish eggs/has white earlobes and dark feet? Her* (i hope-tail has some Shiny shiny feathers and it was too dark to get a good close look without stressing her lol)

So yay! I love that he likes bunnies and I'm all chicken :D
