Candling Eggs

After incubating eggs for 1 week, it was time to check for chicks. This process is called "candling" and involves holding each egg up to a beam of light. If a chick is developing inside, a shadow will appear where the chick is sitting. Any eggs that don't have chicks developing must be taken out of the incubator to keep the developing eggs/chicks healthy. Here are some students checking our eggs.
