Day 12 - Candling Day!

It is finally time to see how our little chicks are growing. Through a process called candling, a light is shown on the bottom side of the egg, illuminating the inside so that a shadow of the chick can be seen. Some of the darker colored shells are more difficult to see through, but luckily we have a few light colored shells that are allowing us to view the growing chick perfectly!







One student made the observation when viewing the egg that the defining line between the light and dark parts of the egg was "like the equator".
