We candled our eggs for the second time. This time in the first eggs we put in we could only see a black blob taking up half the egg which is is the baby chick, the yolk took up the other side of the egg. In the chicks final days of being in the egg the yolk is all in the stomach of the chick so when the chick hatches it can go up to 48 hours without eating. In the newer eggs we could clearly see the embryo moving around in the egg. About 90% of the eggs we could see through looked like the embryo was forming. We still couldn't see through the green eggs, the egg's shell is to dark to see anything. Our eggs could hatch any time now, so I am very excited.
What are you going to do with all the chicks?
ReplyDeleteZach would like to know if you have thought of a name for your favorite egg #27? Also, how old are your roosters?
ReplyDeleteWe will raise the chicks as laying hens.
ReplyDeleteHi Zach I haven't thought of a name for #27 yet, We don't know how old our roosters are.
