Egg Sandwich

Q:
i have been using a candler to see if my eggs are fertile or not, but i really dont know what im looking for,
A: You're looking to see if there has been any embryonic development within the egg. It takes a few days before there is enough development to see but you should be able to see a "spider web" of blood vessels within the shell surrounding the yolk. If nothing is happening, then the egg is probably infertile. I found an online site that talks about making a candler and also what to look for so hope this helps you out. This site also has some links that should help too. Take a look at: www.ehow.com
Good luck to you
