    Place a piece of aluminum foil over the tip of your flashlight. Wrap it around and poke a hole dead center in the light. About the size of a pencil eraser....try that see if it helps you candle the eggs. BTW Congrats on the eggs.

    Also Brighter light is beter, but be careful its not generating a lot of heat. I use High power L.E.D.'s such as Cree or Luxeons

    I use a dollar store tiny LED flashlight. Like.. a pen light?
    You just have to move the light around on the egg until you get the best "look" into the egg.
    Looks like nice veins, congrats!
