Today Jeff and Alex were the Egg Helpers.  During Science class we “candled” the eggs.  This is when we shine a very bright light through the egg in hopes of seeing a chick growing inside.  The dark eggshells made it a bit difficult to see.  Everyone got to see one egg with a tiny chick, an air pocket, and lots of veins.  We also saw an egg that doesn’t appear to have any chick growing inside.  Unfortunately it seems we might have quite a few unfertilized eggs in our batch, but we’ll keep incubating them just in case.  We also lost an egg today when the shell cracked during a turning.  We now have 24 eggs.
