Have blue and brown eggs in my incubator. Using flashlights could see embryo and vessels in brown ones, but nothing except the air sac in blue ones. Same on your video, so now I see that's it's common, and it is not a fault of my candling technique. Thank you for sharing.
Just a helpful tip for anyone thinking of buying a candling lamp; try the light on your phone first. I tried a commercial candler and a couple of LED flashlights, but the best candling lamp I have is the little LED light on my Motorola phone!
WOW!!! Thank you for sharing this video! I have never candled an egg. That is such an amazing things to get a glimpse of what is going on in there. Love your videos!
You are adorable!! Trying my hand at incubating some runner duck eggs. First time ever using an incubator! Hope I get it right...going off what videos Im watching.. Thanks for the video!! Helpful!
This video sure put a smile on my face. Btw I tried your potato soup recipe. Delicious. I changed it up today and added some dehydrated garlic. It was very good.
we are only on day 2 for our eggs. It's our first time so we are super excited!! Your videos like this have been amazing for our boys and us to watch! Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing this. I've never seen in the egg or hatched any...this was great!! My husband kept saying shhh shhh because he was trying to hear you lol. I was too busy ooohhhing and awwwwing. Thank you again, I can't wait to do this.
I just put my first eggs ever in my homemade incubator. I have mynown rhode island red and I bought 6 silkie eggs. I am so excited for them to hopefully hatch. I do have a question. Is it safe to put different stage eggs in the incubator? What do you do about lockdown when I do that?
Hi! Love your video! I'm curious! If you incubated quail eggs, do you think it would work for budgie eggs, too? I had a mom abandon her eggs one time and I have to same candler and they were fertile from what I could tell (some veins) and didn't have an incubator! How do you think it would work for them and how often did you turn your quail eggs?
What is the reasoning for turning the eggs 3x/day? Also the reason for stoping at day 17 (or 18, sorry) we hatched chicks for 4-h one year, but that was 22 years ago for me. I really don't remember turning them. Thanks in advance
chris sprauer turning them ensure that the sack won't stick to the shell. For day 17/18 the chicken is getting ready to hatch so they are positioning themselves for cracking out
Right next to my house, a mother duck hatched her eggs :D Unfortunately, she abandoned them, and now we took in 5 of them (the other 4 are gone) We started incubating in a homemade incubator, and I did some candling. I'm a little confused, because there is a very very clear air sack, but the rest is kinda dark. I may see some VERY faint lines right at the edge of the darkness, but otherwise, nothing. Help? Thanks!
No. You have till Day 26. They are stuffed like sardines. Fill your incubator and leave them alone starting on Day 23-lockdown. Pray you get healthy babies. DO NOT open the incubator if you have pipping/hatching babies.
Appalachia's Homestead with Patara thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me. I’ve been panicking like mad that I’d done something wrong as it’s our very first time we’ve incubated eggs. 🤞😘
oh my goodness. That was so fun to see the babies moving!
Thank you.Great info on candling and what to look for.
Ah so cool to see them moving around in there!!!
so cool the way you check the eggs
Oh, I love the candling videos! Thanks for sharing.
I also love candling vids. 50 Ducks in a Hot Tub has quite a few candling vids - hundreds of duck eggs.
candling is one of my favorite parts of the whole process. it's so amazing!
Yes, this is best candling video I've seen. Amazing and thank you!
Thank you so much! It's so nice to see that there are others who enjoy hatching eggs just as much as I do! This is so fascinating! Love it! :)
Wow cool thank you

If you have a flashlight, you might candle an egg. That way, you can check to see if there is an embryo before eating the egg.

like 112. that is soooooooo cool! how much do they cost?
so if they are advance from the other ones do your still do lock down for the 2 eggs that are advance then the other one ?
What kind of inncubator do you use.
I have a question I saw one really red vain is that a problem?
What hygrometer do you use in your incubator to measure humidity? You mentioned one on your incubator vid, but didn't say which one it was.
nice video
what temperature do you set your incubator at?
Just a question is what would you say is the best broody hens
Colleen Rodamer just to help u there the most broody hens in the world are Americana and silkies
what kind of markers do you use?
What is the reasoning for turning the eggs 3x/day? Also the reason for stoping at day 17 (or 18, sorry)

Sounds like they are fertile and developed. Since you don't know the exact timeline... it's a waiting game. ;-)
Appalachia's Homestead with Patara Thank you so much!
I’m on day 20 of incubation of my duck eggs, I used to see them moving around inside, but now I can’t? Have they died?
No. You have till Day 26. They are stuffed like sardines. Fill your incubator and leave them alone starting on Day 23-lockdown. Pray you get healthy babies. DO NOT open the incubator if you have pipping/hatching babies.

Can we candle eggs one time a day
First comment yay :)
Aww! The babies are moving around! That's amazing!
I know! It is so beautiful! xo
