Candling on day 6 - picture

[chickgarden]

We have 15 Silkie eggs in the incubator. We thought we would give candling a try using my phone flashlight. We just looked at about 4 of the eggs and all 4 had veining and what I'm guessing is an eye. We could also see movement. It was a pretty exciting to see. Here's one of the eggs.

We are planning to check all of them in a couple more days.

That's a nice picture! I'm a bit jealous, all my birds lady brown eggs, I can't really see much until day 10.

I was surprised at just how well we could see. We just hatched some quail eggs before these and couldn't see anything at all through them.

That's great most of my eggs are fairly light colored. I can usually see the first signs of development by day 3.
