    I was able to Candle the eggs from Rocky and Adrian
    their first round only had one fertile egg
    this round looks like both are good dancing banana Woo Hoo group wave

    I use a mini mag flash light
    it has LED lights and those are pretty bright
    I usually wait about 3 to 4 days after they have been sitting on the eggs and go to a dark spot
    flash the light through the egg like in the picture and you look for any spider veins
    sometimes you can see the embryo in the middle Smile
    if you don't see any veins at all more than likely its not fertile
