I love me my banties. Michelle - yeah, I've candled in the past. But based on the fact that Oscar doesn't completely have sex figured out yet, and that the eggs were mostly really cold, I decided not to bother. I REALLY don't need any more chickens right now! But you're right that it's a good way to go and pretty easy to do. Megan - Agnes is my favorite and seems to also be a favorite with everyone else as well. I love me my banties.

I used my hubbies mini LED flashlight and sat the egg on top in the dark coop. Some I saw nothing but a big air pocket and pitched those, others I saw veins and a dark lump that moved! Beyond cool. I hope this helps for the next time. When I went to check if my broody hens eggs were fertile, I went to some candling egg sites to see what I needed to look for.

We had banties when I was a teenager and all I remember is one of the roosters hated girls in dresses and would viciously attack any that dared to be in his line of sight. Wow, Agnes is so pretty!
