I know you are into 4H as well as the hatchings you do at various schools near you. Wanted your opinion on some things that trouble my mind slightly.
Article is from University Of Illinois "Incubation and Embryology" You are most likely familiar with this. Here is a kwik link,,,,, http://extension.illinois.edu/eggs/things-46.html
Here is a cut and paste of the minor issue.
I would not be very thrilled with my children or grandchildren doing this.![Idunno :idunno :idunno](/styles/byc-smilies/idunno.gif)
Am I toooooo squishy soft.
(comparing to a marshmallow already roasted in campfire VS a marshmallow still in the plastic bag.???)![gig :gig :gig](/styles/byc-smilies/gig.gif)
The thing that troubles me slightly is above in RED , to break a LIVING EGG. I know what hatcheries do day one sexing chicks.![Sobbing :hit :hit](/styles/byc-smilies/hit.gif)
I accept everything on earth is for mankind's use. I eat meat. Chickens are raised to feed us with eggs and meat. I accept that. Somehow breaking that embryo troubles me slightly.![Frown :( :(](/styles/byc-smilies/sad.png)

Here is a cut and paste of the minor issue.
- Candle eggs each day during incubation beginning at Day 3.
- Break out one egg on the third, sixth, ninth, twelfth, fifteenth and eighteenth days.
- Observe and discuss the changes you see in the broken- out embryos.
- Discuss the major changes you see and decide which changes are most vital.
