Don't want to rig up the heat lamp. Can I use a microscope?

Wait, I'll go get some candling photos.

A microscope would be great for showing us the feather structure. Candling would be great! The position of the chick is another gender indicator.

Listen, this is how to candle a chicken.

#1 you get a strong flashlight.
#2 pick up the chicken
#3 have the chicken sit on the flash light
#4 turn the flash light on
#5 if the bones are red, you have a male
#6 if the bones are blue, you have a female
#7 if the bones are gray, you have a UFO

Science.
I'll be generous and give you a better photo.


Ok, just making a point.
So many fuzzy photos out there.
People post blurry photos and ask us the breed and sex and there's us grinding our teeth.

She is a Light Sussex hen.

Were those pics all of the same chicken (aside from the cat, obviously)

Hehe, I meant to ask if OP was getting candling pics of the egg or the chicken.
