As a comparison this is a candling of an egg that appears to have either not been fertilized or for some reason did not develop once put into the incubator. This is also a lighter colored shell then the first image.
And this is a baby chick about 3 days later. Isn't he cute?
Now I am going to attach a video and hopefully it will work. I find it VERY exciting! We are talking on the video so be warned if you don't want anyone around you to hear what is going on.
At the very end you can see the darker circle that is his eye moving close to the shell.
I got so excited the first time we saw the babies moving around I almost dropped the egg. I sure hope some of them make it to hatching...
This has become quite the family project as you can tell everyone is front and center when it is time to check on the babies.
There are some eggs that have not developed and there are some that have a blood ring that happens when the embryo dies early in development and the egg looks like the 2nd image except you see a red line running around the center of the egg.
