Love your channel it's alway so educational and pleasant (even when you're telling it like it is).

You can use the flash light on your phone to candle too!

I love hatching eggs! The beautiful life that God shares with us is amazing! Toodles🌞🐣

thanks for this! i used it on my 14 eggs and could see which was developing , she kicked 5 out and i candled those and they hadn’t developed much more and everyone else hatched and is happy as! was amazing to see them moving in the eggs!

Love seeing Miss Pauletta's eggs. She is a little thing and so cute.

Thank you Patara. This is the first video my hubby and I have seen where you've candled eggs. It was very well filled and we got the idea. We now know what to look for for "signs of alien life"...lol.

Thank you so much for this video. I have learned so much in preparing me for our first chickens this year. Still reading on the Gail Damerow books you suggested. Urban homesteader in the making. Bucket list getting shorter too. Hugs.

SHE was gonna GIT you!

even tho i live in a city i still find this fun!! keep making great videos

Great video! The comparison really helps! My daughter loves to listen to the turkey.

Just came across your channel. Thank you for explaining candleing so well ! Can’t wait to check out more of your videos

When I had chickens (before back surgery) I made a candler using a coffee can with the plastic lid. I stood an LED flash light up in the can (wrapped in a towel so it stood) then cut a square in the plastic lid for my egg to lay on. That was my candler and it worked.

Her accent is so cute!!!

Thank you so much for this. It answered a lot of my questions.

Congrats Miss pauletta!!

Thank you for this video I was not sure if my eggs where going to hatch 🐣

Thank you! That helps a lot.

that actually helped me a lot! Thanks from the Okanagan Valley in beautiful BC Canada on May 31, 2019

I’m so glad that you made this video. We have been candling our eggs since we have roosters. We now have fertilized eggs 😅 and we are so happy. We have 10 dozen eggs and they are not fertile and not selling for some reason on marketplace. I don’t know if we have them in the wrong category or what. But hopefully we will be breeding chickens and growing our flock. We are so happy with our beautiful chickens.

Good video. Thank you. Just for those who aren't experienced, hens can accidentally peck their own eggs when checking them so for beginners be careful and protect the eggs from the hen.

Wonderful and smart sense of humour beside the important information.

Thank you!! I’m new to chickens.

So helpful!

enjoyed watching this video.. makes things crystal clear! thanks so much!

Thank you so much

Loved seeing that! Yay, thank you!

Patara, do you have to keep a broody with a clutch of eggs separated off from all of your other chickens, like in a separate enclosed area? Would the other chickens hurt the freshly hatched chicks?

Thank you for showing how to check the eggs I just light but I didn’t use it yet this video was very helpful

@1:35 It's funny how chill that chicken is. Is it a silkie? The bird literally gives no fucks.

Can u tell me how long do you have to wait to see a fertelized egg

You are great!! Thankyou for the info, I needed this...just got a candler and needed schooling!

Hello, I am on day 15 of incubation, and when I candle my chick I can not see any movement like I did the day before, it’s been 3 days of cancelling gently and i have not seen any movement, all I can see is the shape of the chicks body just sitting there, there isn’t any blood ring though. Is my chick dead?

I just candled some eggs and didn't know what I was looking at for 6 of them! I couldn't see anything! 6 looked great!

Oh thank you so much😊 I am incubating 4 silkie/sizzle eggs right now day 12. I have was worried they wouldn't survive shipped from California to Ohio in dead winter. At day 7 I could see the veining in 3 but wasn't sure what they were supposed to look like now. I have 3 💃💃 growing. Now I know the 4th (spare egg sent) is not. You are so informative thanks again

Thank you so much for your videos I am really enjoying them. Once you realize a hen is broody can you move her to a space like your stall or a fenced in area? Will she remain broody or will she want to go back where she was?

Nice demonstration.

Thank you!

Very nice thank you now I know what egg I got it's fertilized

Super cool!

So interesting! Good Job Miss Pauletta!

She's so cute!!! Have a good night!!!

AWESOME video...❤

Is the silky your official brooder or are their other breeds that brood as well? She looks so soft.

Great job Miss Pauletta !

So awesome

Very clear video ty!!

Thank you - very clear and usefull video

this video really hepl me to now if eggs are fertile or not thanks

Thank you so much for this video!!!! I know it is a year old but it was exactly what we were looking for!!! New subscribers here!

What do you do with the unfertilized eggs after candling?

Really helpful video, Thank you !

Great family !

Thank you

Love your vids, keep it up they are great

love silkies

Thanks helped a lot

Thanks for the tip. Is that a regular flashlight or something specific

Patara, if you had found the eggs weren't fertile would you have pulled them? If you did pull non-fertilized eggs, would could you do with them?

4:31 FERTILIZED EGG

Great video!

info helped

Do any bodily liquids get on the eggs? Does that change anything

Thank you for your video

Our broody hen won after several tries to stop that behavior with only partial success. So we put 2 eggs from our other hens under her and she accepted them. I will check in about a week for fertility. My question will a broody hen get off the nest for food and water or should we take her off nest and be sure she has food and water or just let nature take its course? Off course if we get chicks can we leave them with broody hen in the flock or separate the hen or chicks or both away from the flock?

Amazing!

how does your hen lay two different colored eggs

Wow cute chicks

You sound like applejack! 😂😂

hahahaha we call our broody hens pancake zombie chickens 😂😂 they get pretty feisty!!

Wow I love them

She does not like you taking her eggs. When she was pecking at your hand was she making contact? Its looks like that would smart. Thanks for the video.

I love hatching Eggs

What if it's just dark ? I dont have the right kind of light and one is showing the air sack and 3 are all light with the smallest wee black dot but the others are just dark ?

I have a quail egg in my room with no incubator and not chicken or something just paper and day by day its getting heavier and heavier but i go to greece 2 days after it hatch

Cute!

What if there is dots on your chickens egg when you put a flash light on the egg?

Can you use a regular flash light?

this video gave me an idea, could it be possible to sterilize eggs with a strong UV-lamp ?

But what if u see the yolk

Thankyou :) just been to see mine she has one rotten but the other 2 are fertile :D

infoe helped

Cool

How can you tell if a robin egg is fertile

Can we check every day for the eggs?

Are duck eggs the same I'm on day 12 and all I see is yoke in my duck eggs I'm hatching

Yay!!

Unless they ate scented candles the, then yes.

One question what happens if an egg is not fertilized

So nice😍😍

Patara, I thought your husband had another trip to the hospital today, am I mistaken on that? OAG

is ur egg fetilized if its a yolk thing at the bottom

Im really sad beacause i fot an egg from a starling and its not fertalized😭

I think it is

how long do you need to wait to check if their fertilized

I found a bird egg on the ground. A wind storm blew the nest everywhere. How do I know if the chick inside is alive?

This is a little off topic, but what age do you introduce your chickie babies to the other chickens? I've been told 16 weeks but not sure. Thanks!!!!!

Does it count with duck eggs (I HAVE TWO ducks a Rouen I think and a Canadian geese both females and one mallard drake i was just filling up their pool next you know A EGG SHOWS UP PLEASE SOMEBODY TELL HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT))

Can you eat fertilized eggs if you get them right when they are laid?

How many days it will hatch

my chicken layed her first egg and the roosters have been trying to mate her
