Why breeders like a flexible wand
Hard-shell candlers often require eggs to come out of the nest. A bendable shaft helps you reach into nest boxes and cups so fertile eggs keep steady incubation while clear eggs can be removed sooner.
How to use | Listing practice
- Bend the wand to reach eggs in the nest
- Place the bright tip near the shell to illuminate contents
- Identify likely infertile eggs so fertile eggs get full incubation attention
Gentle handling: Even in-nest checks should be brief. Follow species-appropriate candling schedules from your breeding references.
