Great Idea for Candling

Post by cindy » Wed Oct 28, 2015 8:56 pm

Love theis idea of using little circle corn pads on the end of the candling light, it acts like a cushion and protects the egg while you put the light up to the egg in the nest.

Is that a special candling light? Forgive my ignorance. Before this year I had never heard of candling eggs.

A pair of Gouldians, Red Cheeked CB's, Orange Cheeked Waxbills, Javas, and Cutthroats. And, two canaries. And, 3 kids, a dog and a patient, patient husband.

Although I don't often candle eggs, this is such a cool idea, I love it.

Those things (by the way) are great for your toes too :-).
