I'm new the this forum and I have a lot of catching up to do

. I just read over the MDARD pdf. for Farmers with <3000 hens selling eggs direct to consumer or first receivers and I didn't see anything about required labeling of "Packaged In A Facility That Has Not Been Inspected By The Department" So, for Farmers Markets they don't need to be a NPIP tested flock?
 
Question, I just realized I forgot to buy a candler and if I order one now it will prob take a week. I admit IDK if I want to wait that long. Due to being ill and some other medical stuff I have next to no sense of smell. So I cannot smell if my eggs are bad. Neither can my SO. I don't trust my friend who is staying with up to smell them because, well, she is the one who messed with my incubator to begin with and I don't want her to think it is ok for her to touch it under any circumstances. Any ideas on how to candle them? My eggs are brown and light (really light) blue/green.
I use one of those led mini lights...works awesome :)

I have one of the brightest 13 led flashlights and it works great on brown and light blue/green but, not great on really deep blue/green eggs. I broke down and ordered a ova view and scope if, you go to retailmenot you can get a coupon discount of 10% off of everything.
 
So, as you all have heard I made it back from Josh's last night. Got the brooder set up- HOLY COW- its huge! LOL, DW is not happy with me... I have had to move her dining room table to the kitchen... might even end up in the garage LOL I forgot how noisy this many birds can be haha. Today I will be sorting and counting...then will be in touch with the ones that I have made arrangements with. Thanks!

I'm glad you and the birds made it safely!!!

Who was it that said; " Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand and I could move the Earth." ? (Or something to that effect?) Aristotle, Galileo, maybe Copernicus
Archimedes

Some women may say a diamond is a girls best friend.. I disagree, I say it's leverage! LOL!
