candling pics?

[ebonykawai]

Can anyone point me to candling pics of brown eggs at 7 and 14 days, please? Can't seem to find any specifically brown egg pics. Thanks!

Check this out-it's duck eggs, I believe, but still is great for knowing what to look for at this stage;

Thanks! So no veins are visible at this stage? Well, at least not the spidery ones like later, right?

The University of Nebraska/Lincoln site has movies of candling and hatching (from pip to hatch). They also have a live cam of eggs due 3/11-12!http://shilala.homestead.com/candling.html
Neat Site!

Yes, you can see veins. Did you click on each picture? It makes them larger.

I did, but a lot of them seem to just show a dark spot. A few have a couple veins in them. Do you see more veins over time?

I'd say you see the most veins about Day 9-10 then the chick starts filling up more of the egg. Depends on how dark that egg is, of course, and how bright your candler is.

Thank you!
