The Complete Beginner’s Guide To Egg Candling

Last week I posted a gif showing egg candling and got several inquiries about it - what was happening, why it was done, and how. This will explain it better than I can.

Egg candling is a neat, cheap, and easy way to discover what is happening inside the egg, but how do you do it? Here you will find the complete guide on what candling is and the when and how to perform it. I will also explain away some of the mystery behind candling and to help you get proficient at this skill which is extremely useful when you are incubating and hatching.

Do you have to candle an egg? No, really you don’t, but if you can, it takes some of the guesswork out of hatching and can help you to improve the chances of subsequent hatches.
