I love candling my eggs. I use my projector because it is bright but cool light. Here are photos of 3 results of eggs candled after 5 days in the incubator.

Such a GREAT idea to use the projector! Wonderful & educational pics you shared. Thanks.

What else can you use to candle? I'd like to take a peek at some eggs... would be a good thing for my homeschooled kiddos to see.
 
Hey!
they are great photos! i tried to candle mine last night with a torch before i locked the chickens up for bedtime but dont think the torch was strong enough? how soon should I be expecting to see something in the egg when i try candling? should I be using a brighter torch? our hen has been sitting on the eggs in the 6th July so wer near to the day21! cant wait!!
