Incubation day 11

Incubating Chicken eggs day 11. See the embryos moving by "candling" the eggs! So cool!
Eggs are candled to determine the condition of the air cell, yolk, and white. Candling detects bloody whites, blood spots, or meat spots, and enables observation of germ development. Candling is done in a darkened room with the egg held before a light. The light penetrates the egg and makes it possible to observe the inside of the egg. Incubated eggs are candled to determine whether they are fertile and, if fertile, to check the growth and development of the embryo.

I've never seen egg candling before. That was so cool to see the chickies moving about the shell. Thanks for sharing these videos. fun and educational.

Hi Jon,
You've helped us! I will try your candling method with our kids tonight thank you. And you're right it is pretty awesome to grow your own food everyone can do it depending space maybe not chicken but you can grow a tomato in a window sill;)

Good show. 2 little bits to add to that, check for air sac and mark frequently to gauge where the chick should pip. From that air sac, on the fat round of the egg, by day 11 you should be easily seeing veins flowing from the middle of the egg (the chick) to the air sac.

Excellent! Thank you!

Interesting for those who ever never seen it, but it brought back nightmares of a semester of Embryology in college.

HAHAHAHAHA yeah it is pretty cool! so far this morning 2 have hatched, 5 more are cutting through their shells...
