For everyone who wanted to see candling pics...
You Asked For It!!!
Dial-uppers Beware!
These were all candled with a mini maglight. I did not use the candler because I'm used to using the flashlight & I felt more comfortable holding an egg, a flashlight & a camera without involving the candler.
Button quail egg:

button quail egg with light:

Button close-up. DH & I were watching the embryo move around during this pic:

Pea egg... blood ring:

Chicken egg bloodring:

Stink egg!!! This egg looks normal in regular light, but

is hiding inside. If you find one that looks like this... throw it out!

The embryo is the dark spot:

Another embryo:

This is my green EE egg that is cracked all the way around & has 2 impact points & DAC. It has veining & a live embryo:

Here's my MF egg that is patched & has veining also:

Another fertile chicken egg. We could see the heartbeat on this one:

My fertile "duck?" egg:

I have a lot more pics if you want to see examples of anything else.

I got my thermometer/hygrometer at walmart and it works but I didn't realize that I should've gotten the one with temp w a decimal point. I can't read 99.5, only 99 and 100 so it's a little bit lame-o even though humidity works fine.

Thanks paganbird for the pics, very interesting and a big help to me.

Wow!
Thanks for the candle pics!

Guess I'll need to go to Wally World for that combo thermometer soon.
I think its too late now to mess with stuff as they are due the 4th.

I think I may go invest in a brighter light....

My .99 wal mart special is really lacking.

Some bob's are out,....no chukars...

I know these are the eggs I set last week but I just had to share...

Oh, the new electric fencer really works, not as good as my old one that did not make the move but well enough that I had more then a few choice words to say and my neck still hurts from tensing up.
