Candling Pics Progression Through Incubation Of Chicken Eggs

I have come to this repeatedly! My 1st hen hatched 1 egg (out of 4; she broke 1, 1 was a dud at day 10 & 1 failed somewhere between day 15 & day 22). 2nd broody is on 6 eggs & we candled them tonight, which was day 10. I have had chickens for years but never had a broody hen or incubated eggs.

Thanks for sharing and great photos!

Great pictures.

Totally awsome! They are sooo cute (the chicks)

Thanks for the pictures! So amazing .....

Im doing my first incubation soon, and this is the exact info I was looking for. I really like the use of edited photos for those of us who really need/want to know better what to look for.

AWESOME!!

That was pretty awesome and really makes me want to hatch some myself! Don't tell my wife lol

Really great info. Loved all the pictures through the article

Covers everything about Candling
Very helpful

Great article. Loved reading through what to expect at each stage and how to set the incubator up. And the fresh fluff ball photos at the end are so sweet. Can't wait to try hatching my own babies one day

Thank you for sharing! What a wonderful walkthrough of a hatch and your chicks turned out beautiful!

Great article on the progress made by these little guys.
This makes it less tempting to candle when I shouldn't, knowing what's going on in there.
Thank you!

Perfect timing on this as I have two broodies sitting on eleven eggs! I had no idea what to expect when candling, so this is very helpful.

Thank you for posting this! I am rather new to chickens, and I have never hatched my own eggs. This is truly fantastic! It's such a miraculous process, and you have captured all aspects of it beautifully. The addition of videos was an unexpected treat.

Now I want to hatch some eggs....

Very informative.

Excellent photo procession of chick development. Good pics and well written.

I referred to these often the first few times I incubated eggs-such a great resource.
