I have a quick question about candling the eggs but first I'll give you a little background.
My DIL decided she wanted to try to hatch some of my eggs while she is living here with my grandbabies..She got a tote, some rags and old towels, 2 styrofoam cups with water, a thermometer (like you use to take your temp with) and some plastic wrap and made a homemade incubator. I candled the eggs tonight (the 3rd time they have been candled) and cannot see anything in one of the eggs. Now this eggs, on the first candling, you could see in the egg..there was a spot that moved around. On second candling, the spot was a bit bigger. Now the egg is completly dark..can not see anything except it's clear at one end. I have never done this before and as a result, here is my question:
Can the dark be a baby chick?? If so, It would totally make my DIL's day. Her hubby (my son) just finished Basic and had until Saturday 8pm to report for AIT but they took him in tonight when they were trying to find where he was supposed to report. She has been really upset and crying for the past couple hours. I would love to cheer her up a little by being able to tell her one of the eggs definitely has a chick in it. Any one know?
Thanks for your help!!
