Attempt at hatching without a shell!

In my first link, there is also a video of the study and them hatching out a chick successfully. I can't link the video directly for some reason, but it's in the link I posted on page 1.

Alright, well that first one dried out quickly, so we’re on take two. I decided to make sure the yolk and the egg white was it more in a ‘egg position’ to help with keeping it from drying out. So far, 3 days in, we got a heartbeat!

I’m just going to take a picture of it everyday and post it on here

Correct me if I'm wrong but won't that suffocate the egg?

Nope, we got air holes

BTW I think that is a really cool experiment I just don't want it to die.

Well, me neither, but I’ve been planning everything out and watching a TON of videos of other people doing it, so I think we may have a chance
