I got a new 9-bulb LED miniflashlight and wanted to take pics of the candling. I candled each and every egg....it looks like there are about 8 or 9 sterile (infertile) eggs out of the batch of 22. The eggs growing babies are generally much darker than the sterile. Here's the only decent pic of a peep I could get. It's the shadow circled...some eggs don't even show peeps because there are too many speckles in the way. LOL! This one was bouncing all over the place! It's on Day 7.

Thanks for letting me share!
 
Awesome pics Emily!
I do good to just candle in the dark with out breaking an egg. I can't imagine trying to take such pics at the same time, even with help.

If it glows it goes, I always say.
Thanks for sharing!
