I was just wondering how is best to candle...

I used to leave the eggs in the incubator while it was open and quickly went through and candled each one...

But recently I've seen that many put them into egg cartons and even take them into a different room.

I'm guessing that is to keep the machine stable ?

What is best ?
If you can do it at night, then the way you do it is great. I'd only haul them in egg cartons to another room if you couldn't wait and another room is dark. I just worry the more I carry them around, more chance of an accident. I'm a clutz! I just wait and candle at night and do it right from the incubator.

I have my incubator in the basement, so its pitch black if I turn off the lights, so I just sit next to the incubator and take them out 1 by 1, keeping the lid closed in between replacing and taking out a new. I dont have to carry them and they are always close over a surface. The incubator mostly keeps temp that way. But then.... this is my first time and they have just now reached lock down so idk! 😆
