Egg Candling Class

What is an egg candler? Candling is a method used to observe the growth and development of an embryo inside an egg which uses a bright light source behind the egg to show details through the shell. It is so called because the original sources of light used were candles.

Modern egg candlers or candling lamps are lights with a concentrated beam. LEDs are now preferred because they are very bright, very efficient and have an extremely long life - so no bulbs to replace and the convenience of compact, portable battery powered units which can be used right in the nest. They also put out a cool light rather than a lot of heat that might damage the embryos.
