yes, but , you ned to be in a very dark room. What I do though ,, is get any kind of lamp with a 75 w or higher bulb. Then I get tin foil and wrap it around the bulb and make an upside down funnel shape at the top and then flare it out to where you could lay an egg on top of it and it would hold it. Then turn the lights out and turn the lamp on and lay an egg on top of the foil. It works great and I have NEVER had a problem with the heat of the light causeing fertility problems.

∙ 12y agoby using a bright light on an egg to see if its fertile or not. if there are veins (after a certain amount of days) then it is fertile. you can only find out if it is fertile or not only after 4 or more days. (this is for chicken eggs)

∙ 10y agoAlthough there is special equipment, candling an egg doesn't need anymore than a hand, a dark room and a good flashlight.
- In a dark room, hold the egg with the big end up.
- Cover as much of the head of the flashlight as possible.
- Shine the light into the big end of the egg.
- You will immediately see the air cell.
- The yolk should be a cloudiness in the center of the egg.
- Twirl the egg. Look for blood and meat spots.
- If egg is clean, go to next egg.
- If egg has a spot, or is old, remove from batch.
An egg with a colored shell will be more difficult to candle, but with
practice it can usually be done.
