Recommendations for an egg candler

[Scorpy89]

I’m currently trying to hatch about seven eggs, all brown. The candler that came with my incubator doesn’t show me veins. Just a general shape so I can not tell if my eggs are progressing past a certain point. Turns out it is an LED flashlight with an attachment.

And before anyone asks, They’ll be Production Reds

This egg candler works well for my bantam eggs: http://incubatorwarehouse.com/incu-bright-egg-candler.html

My cell phone light works just as well if not better than any of the other candler's I have tried.

Biggest recommendation... make your area as dark as possible, it helps. I personally candle from the top of the air cells.

What day are you on?

Happy hatching!

We do not want to toot our own horn, but the IncuBright from Incubator Warehouse is a great little candler with a super bright LED. Good luck and happy hatching.

The room is dark when I candle. I've tried from the top, all I see is the air cell.
Never thought to use my phone. Will try when turning batch two tonight when I get home.
I have two batches, batch 1 went into lockdown yesterday, batch two is only a week in.
FYI. I have two incubators.

I've read the article many times, my problem is that the light shining into the egg isn't bright enough to tell if it's still developing. I was at day 5 with batch 1 and could only tell that the embryo was/or wasn't growing, after that nothing. (Waited til day 10 to toss one)

I've read reviews from Amazon, seen the praise people on many different sites give. I'm thinking about it. Trust me.

I don’t think the light source makes that much of a difference . We took a small box,cut a hole to put a small flashlight threw . Taped it in , went into the bathroom held the flashlight handle and placed the eggs on the light in the box.

My eggs were also brown and I could see pretty good ,

Good luck
Production reds?didnt think we could hatch those ?

New Hampshire Red + Rhode Island Red = Production Red
or at least that's what I've read.
