As someone who is extremely new to breeding and in the middle of monitoring my canneries first ever clutch, I can honestly say that this is the best video on egg candling I’ve come across. Thanks to this video, I can now confirm all the eggs in the nest are fertile and I know what to look for going forward. Thank you
Your welcome Chris glad the video helped out and good luck with you canary eggs hopefully youll have some healthy chicks soon
same here!
This is BY FAR the very BEST video I’ve came across when searching for this topic! You did an amazing job presenting the information in a precise manner and straight to the point, without boasting, yelling, or having loud annoying music! Keep up the good work my friend! 👍🏼
This is exactly what I am looking for! And this video is still useful to this day. Thank you for being detailed in your video🙏
This is the best egg candling video I have ever seen! Tus videos son estupendos y bien informativos. Enjoyed all of them and can't wait for next ones!!!!
Muchas gracias Francisco aprecio su comentario. Im glad you enjoy the videos! I try to make uploads every saturday so the next video will be tomorrow

This was an extremely helpful video. We have chickens (got them this past August) and pretty sure one ended up a rooster. I feel much better now after watching this video on what to do and what to look for. Thank you!
You are amazing. Your videos are so great
Great vid! Very detailed
Awesome video, thank you!
Nicely presented
Subscribed your channel few weeks ago. Thanks for very informative videos
Excellent video, thank you very much
Excellent Video, have a Canary Hen who laid 5 eggs and three hatched while two did not. So will have to candle them to make sure before discarding them. I also have another hen who had 5 eggs and none have hatched but she laid her eggs about a week and half after my first hen. Thanks for the great video
Great video !
Thank You for sharing
WOW thanks. I took photo's of the 4 eggs day 1-15 so I can keep going back to reassure myself.lol
Informing, thanks
Dude your video is amazing
Very nice
Very informative video. Keep it up dude! 👍
Thankyou
Awesome video. A+
I’m so new at this I thank you for the information?
thanks for the video - really helpful.
Thankyou! im glad you found it helpful
This guy is so phine❤
Excelente vídeo! I have a couple of Quaker parrots. The female just laid her first egg today (she is almost 2 years old). She is very territorial right now, which is expected. It is night time and she went to bed in her sleeping cage, and left her egg in the nest. Yo pensé q ella se iba a quedar en el nido empollando, pero no. I know from your video that it is too early to know if this egg is fertile. But my question is: will the egg be ok if she doesn’t sit on it during the night?
Thanks for the link to this video. I also just subscribed to your channel :) nicely done
Thankyou hope you enjoy the videos 🙂 maybe along the way youll also pick up some words in spanish and before you know it youll be speaking it lol
Great video and helps me with my issue right now but i dont know what to do now. A pair of pigeons started nesting in my balcony and they had been there meticulously for the past 10 days incubating 2 eggs. Saw the male today in the afternoon around 5 and came back home at 8 and the nest was destroyed and the eggs had rolled a bit further but still there. Had made sure the birds got used to me by watching through the window and giving them some grains every day so i waited for them to come back but 4 hours have passed and the pair hasn’t showed. I candled the eggs and both are fertilized for what it looked like day 7-10 (veins and movement) but one of them has a fragile crumple on the side. Can you help me please to know what to do? Im in new york city and there was a rain storm today
So I have an egg I found, and it just had a yolk, it was unharmed in the ground no nest or anything now it has a very small dot, I’m not sure if it’s alive or dead?
Well done.. Very informative.
Thank you
Can u check while they are incubating them or do u have to wait until an amount of days
Where did you purchase the light that you used in the video?
Helpful video. Thank you..
Your welcome glad you like it
Did help a little bit and I did like
My love bird laid her first egg and I ordered a nesting box but it didn't get here in time for her to lay her egg in it. Could I move the one egg to the nesting box or just continue to let her lay all them where she started
What light did you buy please
Very helpful!
Thank you
Does this happens only after they start incubating or immediately after they lay egg
What type of flashlight did you use? Will my male conure hurt the eggs?
Do you have a link for your light you use?
Hi ! The video was super helpful but I wanted to ask I have a pigeon egg and pigeon left it so I incubated and it worked and there Is a blood ring around it . Is it fine or is my egg dead ?
thank you
Omg thank you!
Could you tell me the brand name and what kind of flash light should I use to check the fertility of the eggs? thanks.
Does it also work for bird eggs barn swallows?
Great video man
Thankyou
Can you please tell me , if we just keep eggs without incubation , it can be hatched?
Thank you so much, this was so incredibly helpful to me. My turquoise green cheek and pineapple green cheek finally figured out how to “connect”, lol. I noticed shortly after she laid her last egg she abandoned the nest, just became uninterested. I’m guessing it’s because she was new to the process? A couple of them were fertile, but eventually died. I have 8 birds, a yellow & green quaker, 3 green cheeks, a dusky conure and 2 lovebirds. I’m not trying to breed birds because I don’t want to lose my birds as pets, and they get nasty when nesting. I did try to save the last one, but through this video I’m able to confirm it’s no longer alive. Thank you so much for the information, you’ve been so helpful👌🏼. I’m absolutely bird obsessed and am a brand new subscriber 🙃🐦 🦜.
Thank you
Amazing video, great job, saludos desde España compañero
Muchas gracias amigo! Saludos
I dropped one of my canary eggs and it was fertile there 3 left will they be fertile
Terimakasih kawan
My hens totally has laid almost 14 eggs, now one of the hen has started to hatch, now it is day 3, I candling the eggs today to see if they are fertilized or not, luckily, 10 of them succeeded, I saw blood vessels and embryos moving, but the last 4 eggs were laid by other hens, I mixed them, maybe the development will be relatively late,but I can clearly see a little red thing inside and it's moving, I'm not really sure.Just hope that all eggs are healthy and developing.Can you give me some tips?Thanks
Hi, I love the way you explained so beautifully about the egg fertility. I have 4 zebra finch eggs. After laying all the eggs the finch sat on it for more that 20days now. I checked its in late stage as shown in your video. Which if I understand is unfertile egg. Will my finch know it ? Will they discard it themselves or can I do it for them ? 🤔
Thank you for your kind words. Sounds like those eggs have died late term. Some birds automatically know to leave the nest after a few days from not hatching but others just have no clue. For those I just remove the eggs from the nest and let them start again.
What brand is your light?
I have sun conures that laid 3 eggs. I’m hoping they hatch soon. I really hope they are ok!
there are product from chicken embryo- laminine. How healthy is to eat frozen embryo without boiling or cooking?
Where can I buy the egg light
can you post a link of the light?
Tquuu sir👌
hi, what is the cause of early term death and late term death? What can we do do minimize this from happening? Thanks.
So eggs need turning?
I found a fallen nest with a Robin's egg in it so I checked to see if it was fertile I think it was but I know I can't take care of it nor do I have the time so I put it in another birds nest so they can do what ever with it. It most likely died from the fall but want to give it a chance just in case.
Nice video, keep it up!!
Thankyou
@@paradiseaviary how can I save 2 cordon bleu eggs, I dont have an incubator, but I have an heat lamp, time is running out, the male is seating on the nest, but the famle hurt herself and can't fly to the nest.. I dont know what to do..
Im sorry to hear that. Thats a tough one the male will incubate but eventually he will abandon the nest if the female doesnt come back to swap with him. Ive never incubated any eggs with a heat bulb the eggs need more than just heat they need humidity and thats very hard to acomplish without the incubator.
@@paradiseaviary yeah, the male will eventually abandon the nest if the female dosen't seat on their eggs
Hopefully her injury isnt to bad and she can recover and fly back up to the nest. Good luck with them!
I need a video like this for conure eggs
This is the best video yet
I have a budgie that laid her first egg on the 25th followed by one dec 1,3,5,7,8th...so there are 6 eggs After the 2nd one was laid she started incubating. Do I start counting days from the day they were laid or the day she started incubating?
Thank you Aja im glad you liked the video. I start counting from the day the hen starts to incubate but keep in mind that there are some eggs that will be behind in the incubation process since they were laid afterwards. Shes also a first time hen laying so its normal to have that long space between laying eggs. for her next clutch it should be more consistent laying 1 every other day.
Great info. A robins nest fell out of my tree. Two eggs were broken, one intact. Still can't tell what's going on inside... judging by your info It's either dead or very close to hatching. Being a robin it's very tiny. Have it in a diy incubator... fingers crossed.
Ps..not JaRule.
I have a question we found a robin egg on the ground and we candled the egg there’s yellow yoke but no veins I can’t tell if it’s infertile or just very young
Most probably and old infertile egg. Very rarely do eggs fall from the nest unless its an old nest, parents know egg is unfertile and trow it out or because of parasitic species that lays its own and kicks the other eggs out. Only way to know for sure was if you had an incubator.
Paradise Aviary I wasn’t sure so I was gonna wait a week candle it again if there’s no veins then I’ll get rid of it
it's 30 days no hatch should i assume the eggs are not going to hatch and then remove female from nest because she isstill sitting on the egss
Ima try n incubate some eggs tomm to keep my flock goin. Freddy the rooster has been bangin them all like crazy🤣 Gracias
🤣🤣🤣 sounds like Freddy is having a good time. Good luck with the eggs
I found 2 eggs today, however I don't know when they were ( laid ) etc . I did my light and I'd like to send you a pic if I can because even watching videos I'm not sure and rather not give up on them without being positive
Hi Lauren of course msg me on facebook and ill take a look at the pics.
facebook.com/paradise.aviary.5
At days 1-3 is that just a yolk
Who has broken fertile eggs during candling 🤣. 🤚🥺
Me
My worst fear!
Oh. Notorious
Is it bad to touch the eggs?
I really needed this video... a pigeon laid eggs about 2 weeks or more ago and i just realised she left... they are just sitting there! I saw that the can lay unfertilized eggs and will leave when they don't hatch when they should, tomorrow first thing if momma hasn't returned I'm taking them in and gonna try my best
Hey how did it go ? Did the mom return ? where the eggs fertile ? Its true that some birds know vased on their biological clock if eggs are bad so they just leave but sometimes with pigeons also they leave the nest to go feed and get attacked by hawks or other predators and just never make it back to their nest .
@@paradiseaviary I feared the parents were killed and candled the eggs, and unfortunately (maybe fortunately) they weren't fertile at all and momma knew and left, by the time they left I think 22 days have lapsed, could've been longer as well because I didn't notice them right away.
i just started to try hatch a chicken egg that i have put in the fridge for a while,it's just dau one for me
@daicai yang good luck with your egg 🙂
Thanks
Your welcome hope it helped
nice video (finchkeeper)
Thankyou
@@paradiseaviary I have a huge favour to ask, not something I;d normally ask. I am designing free software for gouldian finches and I am after a decent chart with good quality images. I am looking for someone who'd have the time to make a chart with images from the day the eggs were laid right up until they hatch meaning there would be around 15 images (one photo for each day) also photos of DIS (dead in shell) infertle eggs, early chick death ect. I am guessing there would be about 20 photos in all to make a decent set. if you are up for creating one please let me know, all credits will be noted on the chart. None of my birds are in breeding season yet and I am pretty desperate to have this software released, this chart is one of the few things holding me up. Ony reason I am asking you is because in your video you took some great shots well worth using for a chart. thanks
@Dion Fitzgerald I would be more than glad to help you out with something like that, but at the moment im not working with gouldians. I use to a couple of years back had over 30 pairs, but let them go to work with other harder to find species. Just recently I started to get back into some Australian species and eventually I will get gouldian again. If you need to do this with any other species that I work with I would be glad to help!
@@paradiseaviary no worries, thanks anyway :)
Link for the light
If you touch the eggs will the birds avoid them after? Asking because my zebra finch laid her first egg last week in one nest and then the mail covered it with nesting material. She laid her second egg in the main nest she sleeps in and right before she did that the male moved more nesting material over to the first nest she laid her first egg in. She then laid a third egg in the first nest. I’m worried that the first egg is too deep below the nesting material
No that’s a myth. Touching eggs won’t make birds leave them.
Derpy Pigeon thank you!
Hi Kacy so sorry for the late response just saw your msg. Like Derpy pigeon said its not really true birds wont abandon the eggs because you touch them, but some species do abandon the eggs and nest after they are discovered by humans. Some species like their privacy so nest inspections will cause them to abandon the nest. Zebras are very tolerant from my experience so you can move eggs and they wont mind as much as other species. It sounds like your male might too young or inexperienced. In order to correct this once they choose one nest in cage and the female lays her 1st egg remove the other nest and all nesting material from the cage. This way she is forced to finish laying her clutch in one nest and the male doesnt have any extra nesting material around to cover the eggs.
I did sub and like
Please help, we found an egg outside and its slightly cracked. It may or may not be dead. 😢😢😢
it's more than 21 days. Still the eggs are not hatched. Can u please tell me the causes?
if my eggs have fisible veins on day 6 but can't really see movement are they dead ? an early death ? because it doesn't show only yellow I still see veins
Sounds like they are good, you wont see much movement that early on only veins and maybe a faint heartbeat in the center
@@paradiseaviary they didn't look as developped as the eggs on the picture .. I'm efraid they died ..
only one has a red blob but no veins visible anymore on day 8 .. I'm kinda sure they died
3:32 Does the first two eggs will grow?
After that
Because I'm have a spice finch egg that was rescued and it looks like the second one
Please tell will it grow
Im incubating from 5 days
So what u gonna do if the egg is unfertile
Do you know how long it takes parakeet eggs to hatch?
Parakeet eggs usually hatch between 17-20 days
I think my budgie egg is unfertilized, it's been 3 days and the yolk as gotten bigger but no veins.
@Rosso The'Crimson I would wait atleast till days 6 or 7 it still to early at day 3 to know, but in a few days youll know. Good luck hope they are all fertile!
Thank you so much, I have sparrow's egg and my dad bought it from somewhere with the nest itself.In the starting I thought the nest itself will be warm so we dint touched it.In between we just checked a little and 10 to 12 days it was as it is in the nest.While later I checked Twice and it was cool so I took it out and just warming it.I thought it need warm or else it won't able to get a life,So I just took it out yesterday and whole day I was like catching it in my warm hand and also at night I was carefully warming it.And even today now I'm putting it on my hand 🧤 I donno wht I'm doing but I just want to wait till 2 to 3 weeks so let's check wht's gonna happen.I just hope it's alright.I just want to confirm Is it alive or__? So I checked it by a torch and it was filled with liquid and a circle type of structure,So can you say wht has happen plzz?I can't see any yellowish colour may be it can be light.So please please 🥺 can you help me?I'm waiting for the reply 🙏🏼
Did the egg survived? ⊙﹏⊙
@@gunjaprakash8102 Really If I say don't be angry plz,it broken by me☹️☹️ when I was looking the egg with help of torch and It was not showing anything so I was going near to the egg and watching egg through torch light but unfortunately it has broken by the torch which was in my hand🥺😖☹️☹️ I was crying and.....
I've found baby bird finch eggs. One of the inside of the egg is yellow and 2 black spots. the other one is red/yellow. I had them for 3 weeks now. I still can't figure out if Tom and Jerry is alive or not. Yes, I named the eggs. lol
This might seem like a dumb question but what is the right thing to do with the early term death eggs? Compost?
Hi John personally I just toss them away. Not sure if they would work well for compost and i guess it depend what type of compost also
can you please emphazise more on the 2:00? theres yellow yolk but cant tell if its infertile or not please
I have a duck sitting a snake chased her off we got rid of it and she's back on the nest hopefully they didn't die its day 23
I'm still skeptical with the egg I found today, it looks like early stages
