Things You'll Need
- Flashlight
- Dark room
- Goose egg
Instructions
Wait until the goose egg has been incubated for at least seven days.
Wash your hands thoroughly.
Gather a flashlight and find a dark room (or wait until it is night).
Hold the flashlight so it is shining into the large end of the egg.
Slowly turn the egg until you can see inside it.
Look for the blood vessels around the egg or for the embryo to move. These are both signs that the egg is still alive.
Repeat Steps 1 through 6 for several days in a row with any eggs where you did not see signs of movement. If you have candled the egg for at least six days in a row and seen no sign of development in the egg or movement, it should be considered nonviable.
