How To Candle A Chicken Egg
Raising chickens can be a difficult task. You must feed them, water them and make sure that they have adequate accommodations. But if you are not raising laying hens, then you are more than likely breeding chickens. This is something that is quite necessary, as the world needs as many chickens as it can get. Before you are actually able to breed those chickens however, there are some things that you will need to do. The most important thing you can do is candle your chicken eggs.
Okay so maybe that sounds a bit odd, and admittedly, it is. Basically you are trying to illuminate the eggs in such a way that you will be able to see their contents. Based on what you see within, you will be able to tell whether or not the egg is still fertile.
There are a few ways that you can illuminate the interior of your egg. Many people choose to use a flashlight, as this is a quick and cheap method of going about it. Then there are those who would much rather choose a more efficient option. An egg candler is a great choice, as it is able to illuminate chick eggs, duck eggs, and even goose eggs.
To go about examining your eggs, there are a few things that you will need to look for. The first thing you will need to know is how to identify an unfertilized egg. This is pretty easy, because when you illuminate the egg all you will see is a simple yolk. The yolk will not be entirely visible yet, but that is to be expected. In other words, a male of the species has gone nowhere near this egg.
A fertilized egg will show up quite nicely, especially if it's been five to ten days after fertilization. Typically you will see red veins in a mixture of yellow pulp. At this stage the egg is still developing, and at some point the chick will occupy the whole of the egg until such time as the chick is born.
If the egg is fertilized, it will be completely dark inside, and you will be unable to see within. There is a chick growing inside the egg, and if you are curious, you can check to see how long an egg takes to hatch. If the time is exceeded, then the chick is probably dead. Now if you are to look inside the egg and find that it has no yolk, then the egg is unfertilized, and furthermore it needs to be throw out.
The best way to keep your eggs from becoming infertile or dead is by turning them on a regular basis. You can do this by employing the use of an automatic turner, but the best way to turn the eggs is to allow your hens to do the deed for you. This is what they do in nature and keeping the eggs turned will ensure that you have great success when candling them.

Questions & Answers about Automatic Egg Turner
I bought an egg incubator. But the eggs did not hatch after 21 days? What did I done wrong?
1. I have a rooster and a hen so I did not buy this in the supermarket.
2. My incubator has automatic turner, so I dont manually turn the eggs daily.
3. There is a basin below where I put half full of water, after 3-4 days, before it runs out of water.
4. The temp says its 37.5 Degrees C / 100F.
Pls help. Thanks.
I only have 1 rooster and 1 hen. Both are 1 yr old(approx).
I placed the incubator outside the house but under a shade. No direct sunlight. I live in a tropical country. Is humidity a factor? Do i need to place the incubator inside?
Here's my situation:
I had 2 roosters and 10 Hens. I gave a friend of mine 11 eggs to incubate. After 10 days in the incubator this friend "candles" the eggs. . . . only 2 are good for chicks.
Friend says that when there are 2 roosters,they are so busy either fighting or chasing each other away from the girls that they aren't really busy doing their rooster thing.
Now,since the first 11 eggs I lost one of my roosters which my friend says will make my chances greater so out of the other 44 eggs I have given this friend I am suppose to hear soon as to whether they are good or not.
Now the last "problem". I got my present rooster 3yrs ago and he was full grown. . .beautiful Black Rooster,very Majestic looking. . . . so we have no way of knowing how old he is and the older they get the less productive they are,hard as they may try.
Because he is soooo Beautiful I have refused to clip his spurs which are about 2 1/2 inches long which my friend says will hinder him when doing the rooster thing.
Morale of the story: Rooster has to be a young lone rooster with very little or no spurs. Friend also suggested that I put only a few hens with the rooster,say 3-4 otherwise he is spread thin with 10 hens and one never knows if he has a favorite and if that favorite is a good layer.
My friend sets the eggs and always candles them at the halfway point which would be about 10-11 days. . . you might try this.
When he disposes of the eggs that are not any good,he sets more eggs and repeats the process.
CANDLING: After 10 days in the incubator take the eggs into a dark room and hold a flashlight to one end. If the egg is a good egg you should see blood vessels and perhaps a partially formed embryo. Otherwise they aren't good and to keep them at incubation temp will only speed up the "rotting" process.
GOOD LUCK !!!!
Will a forced air fan and an automatic turner help with an incubator's success rate?
How much do each of these three items cost? Where is the best place to buy them? Where do you buy the eggs? How late in the summer can you start incubating eggs?
I can answer one question. If you're looking for eggs to buy here's a place to try
www.eggbid.com
Hope this helps!
NOTE: When you buy eggs this the chances of them hatching are low once they leave the seller and are shipped.

Not necessarily. You can do that to get people's attention to add you in their friend list, but it's better to post message via link to your profile and photo albums.
