Description

Perhaps one of the most important pieces of information is the size of the air cell. We have talked about this briefly in other articles, so that we will expand a little here. This can save you a lot of time and a little money too. I have provided examples of using an 800-lumen flashlight on white, brown, and blue eggs below. Here Is A Blue Egg Being Candled With 800 Lumen Flashlight I will also explain some of the mysteries behind candling and help you get proficient at this skill, which is extremely useful for incubating and hatching. As you are learning the new skill of handling, you will be surprised at how easy it all becomes after a relatively short period of time.

A thin ring around the inside of the egg indicates an early death. The embryo died at the start of incubation, usually within a couple of hours. These eggs are easy to identify and remove, and I have included a photo below. Shipped eggs can be prone to many problems, and the hatch rate of shipped eggs is around 75% on average.Candling an egg allows you to see in a limited way what’s going on inside an egg at particular points along the way to full development. There are four distinct periods of incubation when embryos can die, and I provide common reasons for these losses in my incubation troubleshooting guide.

It is not a fail-safe way to tell what’s happening inside the egg, but using your finely tuned observational skills, you can get a pretty good idea of progress or problems. If you have had problems with bad hatches in the past, candling can sometimes help to see what goes wrong and give you some ideas to try to fix the problem for subsequent hatches as well. Nowadays, it is done with a small, powerful light that you can shine against and through the eggshell. Using a regular pencil – no marker pens, the toxins can leach through the shell– you can mark the eggs as you desire. I usually number them 1 -12 etc. You can mark on the shell the size of the air cell, which breeds, color. Candling can give you an idea if the egg is progressing or whether there is a problem. As its’ name implies, originally, candling was done with a candle!I filled the egg candle into an old jam jar with some dry moss. It looks cute but also clean and Scandinavian. I like my decoration to match the rest of my interior decor and not be too overwhelming. Due to the jar it will be protected of wind and can be used outside as well. You could also add some pastel colored pebbles or sand. You could also dye the eggs beforehand to get different colored results. The possibilities are endless!

There are some definite high points along the journey to hatching. If your candle regularly, you will become very proficient at seeing these stages and judging how the egg is progressing.

This ultra bright, LED Torch. I found normal LED torches with batteries go dim as the batteries age, this one is rechargeable and you can top it up from time to time to keep it super bright.
