need to be able to candle for blood spots

I have been offered a chance to supply fresh unfertilized Cortunix eggs to a local supermarket. Only thing is, I need to make sure before I deliver them, that the eggs have no blood spots in them. I have tried a few candlers but none of them work well for Cortunix eggs because of the heavy brown spotting on the outside of the eggs. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a bunch!!

I won't say it can't be done effectively. But it can't.
Gather the eggs often, in warm weather. Refridgerate them, immediately, to 38F-40F. Remove all roosters, if you,re still worried.

Blood spots are hard to detect in coturnix eggs even with the best candlers..Also what does a Male have to do with blood spots?

Umm, er, well, it's the male that fertilizes the egg. It's pretty hard for him to do that, if he's in a separate cage.

I was under the impression that he was talking about blood spots that appear in unfertilized eggs caused from ruptured blood vessles...If so, usually after a week the blood spots dilutes with the water in the egg and disappears.....

I do not know what you are going to be paid for them but for all of the time that you are going to be putting in to try to produce such an egg it will probably be to your best interest to look for another egg market...

Thanks for the replys. No, roosters have nothing to do with blood spots. I'll just do the baest I can. Thanks
