Our last two attempts at egg candling have not gone to plan. The light was not bright enough to shine through the shells. Today we built the new egg candler with the 60 watt bulb at last and tonight we candled the eggs. OMG a tiny heat beating in one of the eggs the others look good too its amazing. At the moment the digital camera is with a friend but as soon as it gets back we will take some pictures and may be try to up load a video. Its such an amazing day to see the babies at last. This is not one of my eggs but I thought youd like to see a supurb candling video. Watch out for the little peeps foot kicking around

They lay about 5 eggs each a week usually in the morning and sometimes ready for breakfast! They Live in an Egglo. We think they like it. They eat most things mainly layers mash (a prepared hen food) greens, fruit and cat food, yes hens are omnivores! and of course fresh water. Everyday they play around the garden, dust bath and preen and eat! they are real little characters we hope you will enjoy reading about them.
