Solo's first egg came today. A wonky one, but it's a start.

Did you candle it? When I get those super long pullet eggs they usually have 2 yolks

No I didn't, but I'm actually getting my incubator out tomorrow to clean it so I could candle it. Good idea just for curiosity.

Speaking of candling...
@Island Coppers could you post some pics of your diy candler?

Genius idea and I'd like to build one and bet some others here would be interested also if you care to share.

Sure wrathsfarm,

It's pretty simple, 760 Lumens LED with the plastic bulb removed, a socket and cord, cardboard from a tp roll, aluminum foil, tape. It's so bright I worried that I'd blind them in egg.

One nice thing is being able to keep the egg air sac end up and shine the light down into it, or any angle really.

Thanks... I like diy stuff but the built in candler on my nr 360 is pretty lacking even with a blocker plate to stop the light wash.
