Wow I could see them when you moved the camera back so you could focus on the eggs 😹 that was surprising I did not think I,would see it from that distance . I noticed the veins before the heart plus the air pocket I noticed was different to the unfertilised eggs. Thanks for sharing that it was something I have not seen done in almost 40 years when I had the chance to do this on the farm I stayed at when Mom remarried when I was almost 6 I had fun on the farm even learned to drive the tractor as well 😹😹😹 only down side is when I fell,out the low bedroom window right on top of a bed of stinging nettles not a pretty sight I can tell you😹😹😹

I live in a condominium and have some physical disabilities, and at my age now, I could never dream of doing this now. But I love watching your videos and wish you all the best in all your endeavors. In my prayers.

Really cool. The egg at 9:45 was a really good one. Thanks for sharing

gr8 vid....instead of the tape on your light try using the cardboard center of a toilet paper roll....it wont let any light bleed out through it like i noticed the tape does.....its very flexible and forms a perfect "seal" around the egg....i use it on my flashlight when candling my eggs and it works like a charm especially on very dark colored eggs

Thank you so much. I thought I had detached air sacs, but....I have floating embryo! Yeah... Thank you! Plus I love your incubator...

If the incubator was moved to the left you could take the trays out and put them to the right and prevent a possible accident by knocking into the window and dropping the trays.

Watching from Texas...love your videos!!!

I had to look this up, because I unfortunately candled incorrectly this morning, using a phone flashlight. 5 eggs were non viable of the 6 I tossed. The 6th had a fully developed chick in it, and chirped when I tossed it into the woods and it hit a tree root. Grabbed my 22 to put it out of whatever misery I put it in. Thanks for this video, it'll help me ensure it never happens again.

I’m watching this cause I found abandoned eggs! I did not know what to do but now I know how to check if they have babies inside so this helps.😓🙂

I' have five Quaker's and one ringneck one of my Quaker's just lay two eggs for her first time these video helps me so I can candle her eyes

I like your light, it seems to work better than my candler.

Very informative,easy to comprehend!

Very cool. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada.

I never knew you could check the egg for an embryo. Thank you

I just found you and I hope you are well and wanted to tell you I enjoyed this old yet wicked video.

If I had a higher capacity incubator I'd get more eggs! 😂 Right now I have a clutch of 7 silkies in the 'bator that were shipped to me. They're only a few days in so far but I believe so far there's only one I'm questioning on if it's viable. Which is good. I can't wait to see how they are this weekend! :D And yowza, that LED is great! My candler is 12+ years old. That bulb hasn't been changed ever. I need to try and get a brighter one Friday so I can really see into those eggs...

You shouldn't shake the egg like you do in the first candling, could shaker the embryo loose so to speak. If hatching rate from the incubator are low, that might be cause you've shook the eggs. And as a lady wrote, move the incubator to the let, so the table at the right side is free for you to put the frames on while candling.

Great videos, I am just learning about chicken husbandry and this is a valuable resource!! As for life only coming from life... In a short term view this is of course true... in one week a rock does not turn into a chicken... life took billions of years to emerge on Earth and has been evolving for billions of years since then. Human history is only a tiny speck of that and in an even tinier speck we can selectively breed and control the traits of species like chickens for our own particular needs. To me that is the stunning thing about life... it is adaptable, flexible, resilient.

The spark of life, manyfold. Very good. When I was very young, I saw an old man doing this by holding the egg against the sun. Same principle I suppose. Nice treat for your kids as well, when they hatch at X-mas.

Very interesting, thank you.

Very helpful information. Thanks

How did you record this? Like what type of camera? I can never get it to show up on video.

Have you tried geese? I have a pair of Toulouse geese and tried once to let her sit on eggs and got none to hatch then put her eggs in the incubator and got none. For some reason they are not being fertilized but don't know if it's the goose or the gander. I'll try again in the Spring
