How the heck did you manage to get such a great pic? We tried to get pics of development so the kids could use it for their 4H educational project and they just didn't come out at all.

What great veining

Congrats!

This site has many, many click-to-enlarge pictures of eggs at all stages of development. Best candling site I know of.
