Does anyone have any tips on candeling budgie eggs?? I have two in a box.. Does anyone have any hints and tips?? :)

Wait till the eggs are around 5 days old. Dont remove the eggs to candle them. Get the hen out into the cage and while she is out use a bright penlight torch or candling torch ...put it behind the egg ( in the nest ) and shine it forward to you where you can see.

Looking for pinkish reddish glow and veins at first.

It could hard to do that with the little torch as i wont be able to see. How come you can not remove the eggs?

You dont need to remove or handle eggs to candle. Transfer of bacteria to porous eggshells is a risk. Its just not a necessary risk either as there is no need to handle and move eggs about.
