Hatching Chickens- day 8

Our eggs have been incubating for 1 week.  Today I candled the eggs while the class was at Art. This is when you shine a bright light through the egg shell in hopes of seeing what’s developing inside. I saw some blood vessels and a few shadowy figures which is good news!  That means something is growing!  There were 2 eggs with nothing happening which I disposed of which brings us to 15 eggs.  There were some others that were hard to determine since their shells were darker.  This image is similar to what I saw today.
