Didn't help I found an egg outside all alone on the ground it looks like a chicken egg but every light I used didn't show the inside of the egg it was dark.
thanks for this! i used it on my 14 eggs and could see which was developing , she kicked 5 out and i candled those and they hadn’t developed much more and everyone else hatched and is happy as! was amazing to see them moving in the eggs!
When I had chickens (before back surgery) I made a candler using a coffee can with the plastic lid. I stood an LED flash light up in the can (wrapped in a towel so it stood) then cut a square in the plastic lid for my egg to lay on. That was my candler and it worked.
Good video. Thank you. Just for those who aren't experienced, hens can accidentally peck their own eggs when checking them so for beginners be careful and protect the eggs from the hen.
Thank you Patara. This is the first video my hubby and I have seen where you've candled eggs. It was very well filled and we got the idea. We now know what to look for for "signs of alien life"...lol.
Patara, do you have to keep a broody with a clutch of eggs separated off from all of your other chickens, like in a separate enclosed area? Would the other chickens hurt the freshly hatched chicks?
I’m so glad that you made this video. We have been candling our eggs since we have roosters. We now have fertilized eggs 😅 and we are so happy. We have 10 dozen eggs and they are not fertile and not selling for some reason on marketplace. I don’t know if we have them in the wrong category or what. But hopefully we will be breeding chickens and growing our flock. We are so happy with our beautiful chickens.
Thank you so much for this video. I have learned so much in preparing me for our first chickens this year. Still reading on the Gail Damerow books you suggested. Urban homesteader in the making. Bucket list getting shorter too. Hugs.
Hello, I am on day 15 of incubation, and when I candle my chick I can not see any movement like I did the day before, it’s been 3 days of cancelling gently and i have not seen any movement, all I can see is the shape of the chicks body just sitting there, there isn’t any blood ring though. Is my chick dead?
Thank you so much for your videos I am really enjoying them. Once you realize a hen is broody can you move her to a space like your stall or a fenced in area? Will she remain broody or will she want to go back where she was?
Oh thank you so much😊 I am incubating 4 silkie/sizzle eggs right now day 12. I have was worried they wouldn't survive shipped from California to Ohio in dead winter. At day 7 I could see the veining in 3 but wasn't sure what they were supposed to look like now. I have 3 💃💃 growing. Now I know the 4th (spare egg sent) is not. You are so informative thanks again
Our broody hen won after several tries to stop that behavior with only partial success. So we put 2 eggs from our other hens under her and she accepted them. I will check in about a week for fertility. My question will a broody hen get off the nest for food and water or should we take her off nest and be sure she has food and water or just let nature take its course? Off course if we get chicks can we leave them with broody hen in the flock or separate the hen or chicks or both away from the flock?
She does not like you taking her eggs. When she was pecking at your hand was she making contact? Its looks like that would smart. Thanks for the video.
What if it's just dark ? I dont have the right kind of light and one is showing the air sack and 3 are all light with the smallest wee black dot but the others are just dark ?
I have a quail egg in my room with no incubator and not chicken or something just paper and day by day its getting heavier and heavier but i go to greece 2 days after it hatch
Does it count with duck eggs (I HAVE TWO ducks a Rouen I think and a Canadian geese both females and one mallard drake i was just filling up their pool next you know A EGG SHOWS UP PLEASE SOMEBODY TELL HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT))
Love your channel it's alway so educational and pleasant (even when you're telling it like it is).
Aww! Thank you! Thank you for watching!! xoxo
You can use the flash light on your phone to candle too!
I have eggs some are dark some arnt but one i see the yolk. I cant tell lol HELP!!!
Yes you can use your phone flash light
Didn't help I found an egg outside all alone on the ground it looks like a chicken egg but every light I used didn't show the inside of the egg it was dark.
yes I did this and it worked
I love hatching eggs! The beautiful life that God shares with us is amazing! Toodles🌞🐣
thanks for this! i used it on my 14 eggs and could see which was developing , she kicked 5 out and i candled those and they hadn’t developed much more and everyone else hatched and is happy as! was amazing to see them moving in the eggs!
I saw some eggs were dark but others I'm confused
When I had chickens (before back surgery) I made a candler using a coffee can with the plastic lid. I stood an LED flash light up in the can (wrapped in a towel so it stood) then cut a square in the plastic lid for my egg to lay on. That was my candler and it worked.
I did something similar with an old paper pringles can.
Love seeing Miss Pauletta's eggs. She is a little thing and so cute.
She is spunky & spicy! Haha! ;-)
Good video. Thank you. Just for those who aren't experienced, hens can accidentally peck their own eggs when checking them so for beginners be careful and protect the eggs from the hen.
SHE was gonna GIT you!
Thank you Patara. This is the first video my hubby and I have seen where you've candled eggs. It was very well filled and we got the idea. We now know what to look for for "signs of alien life"...lol.
even tho i live in a city i still find this fun!! keep making great videos
Can u tell me how long do you have to wait to see a fertelized egg
Best to start candling Day 5-7-then again around 10
Her accent is so cute!!!
Patara, do you have to keep a broody with a clutch of eggs separated off from all of your other chickens, like in a separate enclosed area? Would the other chickens hurt the freshly hatched chicks?
Great video! The comparison really helps! My daughter loves to listen to the turkey.

I just candled some eggs and didn't know what I was looking at for 6 of them! I couldn't see anything! 6 looked great!
Just came across your channel. Thank you for explaining candleing so well ! Can’t wait to check out more of your videos
4:31 FERTILIZED EGG
Thank you so much for this. It answered a lot of my questions.
Thank you so much for your videos I am really enjoying them. Once you realize a hen is broody can you move her to a space like your stall or a fenced in area? Will she remain broody or will she want to go back where she was?
Is the silky your official brooder or are their other breeds that brood as well? She looks so soft.
Thank you!! I’m new to chickens.
Thank you for this video I was not sure if my eggs where going to hatch 🐣
Wonderful and smart sense of humour beside the important information.
Thank you for showing how to check the eggs I just light but I didn’t use it yet this video was very helpful
Thanks for the tip. Is that a regular flashlight or something specific
enjoyed watching this video.. makes things crystal clear! thanks so much!
Oh thank you so much😊 I am incubating 4 silkie/sizzle eggs right now day 12. I have was worried they wouldn't survive shipped from California to Ohio in dead winter.

Loved seeing that! Yay, thank you!
Patara, if you had found the eggs weren't fertile would you have pulled them? If you did pull non-fertilized eggs, would could you do with them?
If they aren't fertile, you can eat them.
If you check them after 5 days from incubator and there not fertile you cant eat them. Theyve been heated for 5 days.
I always tossed non fertile eggs that mama had been sitting on .
that actually helped me a lot! Thanks from the Okanagan Valley in beautiful BC Canada on May 31, 2019
@1:35 It's funny how chill that chicken is. Is it a silkie? The bird literally gives no fucks.
It is a silkie
You are great!! Thankyou for the info, I needed this...just got a candler and needed schooling!
Thank you! That helps a lot.
So interesting! Good Job Miss Pauletta!
Very nice thank you now I know what egg I got it's fertilized
Our broody hen won after several tries to stop that behavior with only partial success. So we put 2 eggs from our other hens under her and she accepted them.

Do any bodily liquids get on the eggs? Does that change anything
She does not like you taking her eggs. When she was pecking at your hand was she making contact? Its looks like that would smart. Thanks for the video.
Pam mine is doong the same thing. Its So cute when she pecks. It doesnt hurt at all. It makes me giggle really. Tonight i heard an egg Chirping!!!!
Justine White then you need to open the egg so it lives and breathes!!!
KAI LAND i heard everywhere NOT to open it.....I'm so confused......
Nice demonstration.
What do you do with the unfertilized eggs after candling?
She's so cute!!! Have a good night!!!
Really helpful video, Thank you !
You're welcome!
Great job Miss Pauletta !
What if it's just dark ? I dont have the right kind of light and one is showing the air sack and 3 are all light with the smallest wee black dot but the others are just dark ?

Thank you - very clear and usefull video

th-cam.com/video/V0mup9M_iYs/w-d-xo.html
Sweet, thank you so much!! This helps me big time!! You are awesome!
So helpful!
this video gave me an idea, could it be possible to sterilize eggs with a strong UV-lamp ?
Thank you so much for this video!!!! I know it is a year old but it was exactly what we were looking for!!! New subscribers here!
how long do you need to wait to check if their fertilized
Day 7-10 is ideal
Can we check every day for the eggs?
Love your vids, keep it up they are great
Can you use a regular flash light?
Can you eat fertilized eggs if you get them right when they are laid?
Yes
Super cool!
What if there is dots on your chickens egg when you put a flash light on the egg?
You sound like applejack! 😂😂
Thank you!
I have a quail egg in my room with no incubator and not chicken or something just paper and day by day its getting heavier and heavier but i go to greece 2 days after it hatch
how does your hen lay two different colored eggs
I found a bird egg on the ground. A wind storm blew the nest everywhere. How do I know if the chick inside is alive?
Kelly Bono you find out how?
Great video!
Thankyou :) just been to see mine she has one rotten but the other 2 are fertile :D

One question what happens if an egg is not fertilized
How can you tell if a robin egg is fertile
Thank you
Unless they ate scented candles the, then yes.
my chicken layed her first egg and the roosters have been trying to mate her
So awesome
Amazing!
Wow I love them
How can you tell if the chick is actually alive though or if its dead?
You can prob see a little bal bumping (its heart) then u know its alive
