Again, candling will never turn a bad egg good. Do you agree? But you can mishandle or harm the egg while candling. Not that you will, just that its possible, is that true???



So there is absolutely no advantage gained by candling. The only thing it does it make your face get all weird, as you wonder about what you saw. hahahahahahahaha.



Now the subpoint and the real point, those with experience know what a good egg looks like and or marginal egg or a bad egg, they do not need to candle.



The ones who feel a strong need to candle are the newbies, inexperienced ones ect. Also, whos more likely to make a mistake and drop eggs, or do some like take eggs out of the incubator and open them in an air conditioned room and get to see them pop. The people without experience.



What is absolutely best for eggs is to leave them alone. They are only going to do one of two things, hatch or not. Thats it.



So Peter I ask you and I want an honest answer. If you candle an egg and it is white, full, with no fungus or discoloration, and you do not see any development, what are you going to do??????? Are you going to throw it out???? Heck no, your going to wait until it meets the symtons of a bad egg, fungus, discolored, shriveled up, etc.



What was the purpose of candling? no purpose what so ever. Its a tool of the impatient.



The best thing to teach newbies is patience. Is that not true?



Answers please. FR
