Why And How To Candle Your Eggs

[@patriciamason6267]

this was without a doubt, the BEST video I have seen on egg candling. thank you

[@hatimelias7465]

I have no eggs.. no chickens.. no hatching machine.. no idea why I'm enjoying this!

[@madelynnduggar7055]

Get chickens!

[@mohammadshafiksheikh9778]

Ur high ma boi !

[@bacodebarbari510]

Start keeping chickens or racing pigeons !! Highly rewording!!

[@sylphmade]

@@bacodebarbari510 I'm sorry.... did you say, "racing pigeons"?

[@Idk-yh1ob]

You were supposed to watch the video if you have chickens or eggs😂

[@TheRestorationCouple]

This is one of my favorite things to do with our children, especially at the 2 week stage where they move around. A little miracle in each egg! :-)

[@inactivechannel7439]

The Restoration Couple Your children are lucky... my parents don't want anything to do with eggs or my birds

[@funkyfreakyandfabulous9743]

@@inactivechannel7439 my family feels the same about my bird I'm getting. I'm not a dog person but everyone owns a dog and I find it really annoying how they're so pushy about dogs but yet hate birds. It's like comparing apples with oranges, a personal preference. Nothing more.

[@Strange-Viking]

Never lose that passion you got for animals. Its great. Thanks for nice vid

[@svar42]

Absolutely fascinating! But even more fascinating is that the process you are helping along has been going on for millions of years. Thanks for sharing your and your family's world.

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.

[@allen.lpersingerjr6408]

you have great videos . I was raised on a small farm and how great the knowledge you have given would have helped us 60 plus years ago , I love ALL of your videos and will continue to look for them . so keep them coming when you can thanks and wishing you and your family a super 2017 year'' a subscriber thumbs up""

[@AndyGarcia-ch1ci]

This is the best candling video I have seen on KZbin! Thank you!

[@dawsie]

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😹😹😹

[@roselynaquino1644]

I already did mine in ducks but some not been hatched so I cracked the egg to get them out

[@tanksoldier9770]

You brought back a childhood memory ,we had about a hundred geese and in the spring after nesting was over we would gather up the dud eggs and have a egg war sometimes they would pop and stink real bad ,what fun we had .thanks for the videos

I've made my simple automatic incubator , but the incubator on this video looks great , nice candling demonstration too.

[@TheFarmacySeedsNetwork]

Another excellent video from SH! Candling is def a really cool look at life from a very intriguing perspective.

[@BusterABrown]

AHHHH!!! I was blinded at 0:47. O.K. Simeon, you will be hearing from my attorneys. I will settle out of court for a few dozen pastured eggs and some maple flavored bacon.

[@jakepaul3040]

hahahhahahaha you made my day 😂😂🤣🤣😂

[@SheepyHollowCanada]

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.

[@hotdonna6]

I just candled my 14 eggs at day 6 and I have 12 forsure babies growing,, I'm unsure of the 2 so put them back and I'll check again in a few days. Thank you for your video!!

[@bobfuhr4520]

They move a lot if alive. Some look dead but after a few minutes you will see movement or change in the shadows.

[@adventureswithcrystal]

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

[@johanneschristensen2670]

thank you this was a very good description of egg hatching. im even thinking of making my own hatching machine now i got all this information

[@bereketgebreslasie8875]

My bro what do you use to check heat in side incubetor

[@tonyafreels6948]

This is a great video!! Can't wait to show my daughter! We're hoping to have a few fertilized eggs.

[@quackyduck7903]

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.😓🙂

[@oregonbear541]

thank you for sharing...I really enjoyed seeing the process

[@LadyRuin]

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...

[@hughmungus2624]

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.

[@corazonagustin9000]

I love the way you xplain brother,,thanks for imporming us

[@MarthaErb]

Nice incubator…I learned a lot from this, thanks so much!

[@kennethstensrud669]

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.

[@nancykircher2637]

[@michellehousein247]

If you find out the eggs aren’t fertile do you just get rid of them? You can’t eat them right ?

[@trakakis1]

Your incubator looks beautiful. May i know the brand please?

[@tedbreuer6927]

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.

[@sevenseven7333]

Omygoodness! Thank u, this was sooooo interesting!!!🙌🙌👍 you are excellent!

[@subliminal_donkey]

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.

[@wendya-r]

Fantastic shot of the developing egg at 9:36 ! Great video and your English is amazing :)

[@haitham.mohamed]

Great video . Thank you for sharing

[@Flexaret]

This is really fascinating, I like the chainsaw videos as that is my job but I find these videos about the chickens really interesting, in fact all your videos are really interesting to me as i was raised in the countryside. My parents had a few pigs and had enough chickens to be able to sell the eggs but I was too young to really remember much about it I'll have to watch the video again where you showed the machine as I can't quite figure out how it rotates the eggs, perhaps once the eggs are hatched you could go into some more detail about the machine, again thanks for sharing your experience. Of course the Chicken came 1st, no question about that :-)

[@simeonandalex]

Thanks for sharing. I made some footage about the rotating mechanism but the video got to long. I will make another video about that.

[@Flexaret]

That would be great, thanks :-)

[@brandonkowalski8106]

What light are you using? Can an LED flashlight work as well? great video

[@TheReichboy]

no.. the egg was first.. lol you just threw that biogenesis thing at the end to generate discussion and engagement.. and I fell for it.

[@arlingtonguy54]

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

[@esthrrflakis]

How often should one be candling the eggs? Also I’ve read you have to turn the eggs daily and mark them. How exactly should we be turning the eggs and marking them?

[@ROBDee-ho9lu]

You mark them first with an X on one side and a 0 on the other side. Than you change sides 2 or 3 times a day.

[@flashgodzillaplays7663]

Thank you. Learnt a lot.

[@dineomahlane8990]

For broiler eggs do i have to check each of them to see if they are fertile or not? and if so how long should i kip dem out of the incubator?

[@jameskoehn4331]

Where did you get that set up? I get the box can be built, I'm guessing you may have built. But the controller you bought ?

[@griddgrandet5446]

Hi, thanks for the experience. Look, if instead of the black spot, I'm seeing just a little bloody ring, what could that mean?

[@ROBDee-ho9lu]

A bloody ring means that the chicken died.

[@Katy-yg7ys]

Hello! I am new to this channel. This video is SUPER helpful! I am trying to hatch some chicks of my own and now I know how to candle them! Thanks! :D

[@MrGreenbottleblue]

I breed snakes. I do the same exact thing to check for fertility. Pretty cool stuff!

[@karenleighpatterson-smith91]

[@christophermasterton9346]

This is great, thank you! I am learning.

[@heliosmaximus1]

Could you tell me where you got your incubator? Thank you.

[@albertmapa4147]

What kind of bulb you are using for your lamp?

[@oldtimeengineer26]

It was a lot hard before led light good luck. Is that a home made hatchery ? The one I have is just Styrofoam but it works can only do 48 eggs at a time. How many can your do?

[@simeonandalex]

I can do about 140 eggs, depending on the size. I bought it here: www.hemel.de

[@joegarcia1674]

So what you're saying is..the white eggs go first and the dark ones go last? To see if they are fertile?

[@neerajpachori3499]

What you did for turning?

[@beggsnachin]

A cell phone flash works pretty well for seeing if anything grew in there. I used it at night in the dark out at my chicken coop, when I had a hen abandon the nestand needed to see who got developed and who didn't.

[@chris_nielsen]

What is the make of that incubator? Nicest one we've seen.

[@kirstenwhitworth8079]

Very interesting! I raise poultry, but I have never been able to candle my own bird's eggs. The shells on my Ameraucana chickens were too thick to see through, despite many clutches of hatched eggs over the years and a very bright light. I hope to be able to candle duck and goose eggs, but I am not holding my breath since their egg shells are also very thick. ... but where did that first chicken come from?

[@simeonandalex]

I have candled thick goose eggs with this method as well. One viewer suggested to use an toilet paper roll to put the egg on to reduce the light leaking through on the side. Concerning the chicken: That is the big question! Here is where the interpretation of the evidence presented to us comes into place and different world views are being expressed. Based on the laws of biogenesis and the observations that life never comes from non-life and the laws of information that all information has a 'sender' (chicken, plants, other animals and us being highly information dense beings), my conclusion is that there has to be a living sender. That of course raises the question where that intelligent 'sender' came from. The problem is that we are dealing with historical science here, not observational, which means nobody can go back in history and redo it or observe it. Everyone has to observe the evidence found today and conclude. To me the biblical account of creation is what fits the observations the best: 1. There is an intelligent sender. 2. Life comes from life. 3. Every species remains the same species with variation within the species (observable). Since nobody was there 'in the beginning' we have to either speculate wildly about what happened or trust the record of someone who claims to have been an eyewitness, in this case the Creator. That of course raises the question if he is trustworthy which he invites anyone to test and seek.
