Day 15







Today we tried candling some of the eggs. To do this we went into a dark room with a torch. Then we held the torch up close to the big end of the egg. We could tell if there were chicks inside the egg because we could see veins and dark patches as well as moving in some of them. This was really cool and most of the eggs in the incubator looked like they had chicks in them. We will try the other incubator after lunch. The short you tube video above shows what it looked like inside our eggs.
We have nearly finished our i-movie proposal for Mrs Waite. It looks pretty cool. If we work out how, we might load it on this blog. 
We have now looked in the other incubator and it's a sad story in there. Most of the eggs haven't developed. There are about 3 that may be still growing. Luckily we've got the other incubator!!! Only 6 more days to go......

  1. What an amazing learning adventure, I can't wait to see the chicks. Tough news about the other incubator, but that's life! Good luck with your proposal, Pascoe has been telling me all about it.
