Ok I said I was not going to candle but...

[KKluckers]

I just had to. I bought one of those surefire flashlights. I worked great and could candle without having to remove them from the incubator. A lot of the blue orps are fertile I had to throw out one because it was seeping and saw nothing inside. They are due on the 17th of this month...till then I guess I will just be...

Christina, was that a Blue Orp seeping? If so, I wonder if a porous egg got past me. Slight porosity isnt bad, but if I missed an extra porous one, I'm so sorry! At least I sent extras for just that kind of thing.

No..I think it was from shipping because it was dried on at the bottom of the egg. The other persons eggs I bought are more porous than yours that is why Ive kept the humidity higher. I think yours looked great. Good fertility too.

Good luck with the hatch! Never know what shipping gorillas do to the packages. I bet they handle the fragile ones extra hard.

Great flashlight huh? I carry it around all the time. I bet royicus will be checking this out soon and he can tell you about the upgrades you can do with it. Like rechargables and lamps. Right royicus?

 

[speckledhen]

That's great to hear! EXCELLENT! I am so glad. It took 2 days from Ga to Wa and I sent eggs from a NC p.o. to somewhere else in NC and it took 3 days. Go figure.

The flashlight is awesome....I love it! I was surprised to see so many growing.

 

[Royicus]

Glad to hear that your eggs are fertile!

Which flashlight did you get, and where did you get it from? I'm curious because you don't find those flashlights at your local Target or something.

They are nice, but the batteries can get expensive. I'd recommend ordering them online for 1.25 a battery since at the store they are like $5 a battery!


Unless of course you convert it to a rechargeable flashlight

What's the name of this wonderful flashlight?

 

[silkiechicken]

Well, the one I use is the Surefire 6p.

I had to go to there website..It is a G2 Nitrolon. My husbands friend is a security guard at a night club. He was actually talking to him about my chicken eggs (lol). How it was hard for me to see what was going on inside with my maglite. So he sent my husband home with this flashlight, he said, he had a new better one he uses now. Not sure where he got it, but he is a big gun fanatic so it was probably at a sportsman store. How do you convert it to rechargeable??
