fujcube Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hi all, I currently have 18 Welsummer eggs under 2 broody hens, 9 each under my Orpington and Maran. I also have another 6 in the incubator along with 6 White Call Duck eggs. Rather than waste time with clear eggs, I have decided to invest in an Egg Candler and would like to hear your recommendations before I buy. As the Welsummer eggs are fairly dark, the candler would have to be up to the job with the dark shells. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurmurf Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 i wouldn't worry about a 'proper' candler, just a really strong LED / maglite torch. You won't get anything strong enough to get through welsummer or marans dark shells in any case, you'll just have to keep your fingers crossed!

Tweety Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I used a Brinsea Ova-view, and would recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fujcube Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 Thanks for the replies. Have ordered one of those mains powered high intensity candlers from the incubator shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
