Heartbeat in eggs

[Isadora]

Interesting. I never thought about it until now. Wonder if anyone ever listened with a stethoscope?

I have a stethoscope and eggs incubating. I should go take a listen!

Their heart beat is so tiny you couldn't hear it.
But, you could use the float test method. Fill a bowl with warm water so your eggs can float In it, let them sit for a sec, and you should be able to see moment.

The float test method is a good way to kill your eggs.

Depending on how far they are along I wonder what else you might hear in there. Please let us know!

Oh you know what would be really cool? And this is assuming anything is heard...compare candling to heartbeat heard. Like day_____candle image, and sound observed

That would be neat.
My eggs only have a week left so they're far along, at this point.

Don't care. Need data please let me know what you hear if anything.

I'm wondering if any sound is heard if you could use it to monitor the health of the bird inside. As I stated previously we had one that didn't develop all the way and the poor thing was born suffering and in pain. If you could use sound to monitor inside egg health you might be able to prevent that sort of thing. Not sure but I would need more info to formulate a hypothesis

Near hatch point, peeping can be heard even without a stethoscope by holding the egg to your ear.
