I would like to come see how you candle your eggs someday though. >Sorry that you lost the peachick. If you lived in >driving >distance of me I could sell you some. Am in Georgia.

I >would like to come see how you candle your eggs >someday though. ======== What on Earth is there about my candling that would be worth a trip from your house to mine??????? Actually some of my candling was videotaped in my segment on the rescue of a head between the legs malpositioned peachick. The airspace will be a bit more to one side but this is not a perfect indicator because ALL air spaces are jusr a bit crooked. So that sometimes I open an egg that did not need opened but since this is not fatal when done with care I keep doing it when I see a suspicious air space.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: candling Author: Annettes [Edit] Date Posted: 19:05:30 08/07/06 Mon I just wanted to see what you see to tell if one was malpositioned. I have a homemade candler that shows pretty good the airspace, but I thought you could see the chick (assumption?)

Thanks.... > =================== It is Superman that has the X-ray vision--NOT old D C T !!! As I already mentioned the position of air space will cause me to suspect head between the legs malpostion (but NOT the other malpositions) Also if the head is between the legs you will not hear the sound of the shell being pipped or any peeping-though in one case a peachick managed to make some weak sounds. There will be less motion, too and that will be at the base of the neck as the chick struggles in vain to pull head out from between the legs. Anyhow I do err on the side of caution and sometimes end up opening a normal eggshell over the airspace which does no harm but does make more work for me....and, you are welcome.
