Buddy Digital Egg Monitor

The Buddy Digital Egg Monitor takes the guess work out of assessing the well being of chicks during the critical period right before hatching. Candling early stage eggs is straightforward, but determining how chicks are doing once they fill the egg, and after they've broken into the air cell, can be tricky. During assessment of late stage chicks it is easy to overstay your time of inspection, and cause heat damage to the embryo. Once in the air cell candling disturbance should be kept to a minimum, but it is often crucial to know how the chick is doing during this period when dealing with delicate species. In past, bird keepers used to float eggs in water to check for viability, but given the porous nature of eggs this approach often endangers the chick. Should it prove necessary to assist hatch delicate chicks, the Buddy provides the support you need to act with confidence. It provides real time monitoring of the chick’s heart rate using electronic sensors that amplify the chick's hea
