Topic of the Week - Candling Eggs

[Ponypoor]

Absolutely!! You can candle the eggs everyday if you wish, while your broody is off the nest. I have a fabulous mama that just hatched out 100% of her setting eggs. I even candled one egg while it was pipping! Just handle the eggs very gently and avoid turning them from end to end, throughout the 21 day process.

Yes I also candled my broody hens egg when it was piping into the air sack! Amazing to see the chick working away, next day I had a chicks and the second egg soon after - I candled almost daily my mama is amazing (silkie you know )
