Titan Incubators High Intensity Chicken Egg Candler/Egg Candling - Battery Powered

Great candler, really bright and probably one of the most effective ones I’ve used. Can see through even the darkest brown eggs. Batteries lasted a good amount of time too.

This year I have hatched a few batches of guineafowl eggs. It was my first time incubating them and they have really thick shells so it can be tricky to candle them. I had started out using a normal torch which was fiddly and not that effective. This egg candler made it a lot easier and gave me confidence in what I was seeing. It is very simple to use, has a nice sturdy base and the rubber attachments give a secure fit over the light so you get a really clear view inside the egg. I wish I'd bought it right at the start now, it would have saved some uncertainty.

Product would have been fantastic, only it didn't give off enough light to enable a clear vision for quail eggs. The light needs to be brighter. Seller fantastic, gave refund and accepted return. Product probably good for eggs without bloom markings

My Maran had been sitting on her eggs for a while, and due to this my egg production was not up to its usual amount each day. When she got off to go eat, I took the eggs inside, and discovered thy were all transparent, so knew no chicks were inside, and could then destroy them, and keep her out of the coup from then on. A simple gadget which worked wonders, really pleased with this item, highly recommend to the amateur hen keeper!

This is a pretty small item, which is great as I didn't want this to take up lots of room. Clearly shows the progression of each egg's development (much better than a phone torch I was using prior) so very happy. Comes with batteries so could use it as soon as it arrived.

100% accurate by day five! Like some other reviewers I initially thought I would make do with a bright torch as is recommended in lots of books but technology has obviously moved on since the books were written as the Titan Egg Candler leaves no doubts whatsoever whether your egg is fertile or not. By day five you can clearly see the dark form of the growing chick as well as a maze of bright red blood vessels leading off from it. At this stage I could even identify the eye and beak which is unbelievable to see. By day ten you can see the definite shape of a chick curled around the inside of the egg, with beak, eyes and legs. By day 15 you see much less as the chick is taking up nearly all the space apart from air sack. It is very reassuring to see the chick moving inside the egg as well, as you know then that the egg is not only fertile but healthy. If the egg is infertile the light just shines through the egg and it looks 'empty'. I've already recommended this to all my 'chicken' friends and I would consider it a fairly essential bit of kit if you are intending hatching chicks with an incubator or like me with a broody!

Works well, would recommend

FANTASTIC! I have always used and led torch to candle my eggs, hen and duck with no problems but when I saw this with money off I thought I'd give it a go. I'm so glad that I did. The quality and brightness is brilliant. You can candle your eggs even in the daylight and see perfectly well to see if they are fertile or if your like me to look at the growth and movement of your little chicks. This is well worth buying. A fantastic product that allows you to see nature at its best.
