Egg Candling
Students used a light (cell phone flashlight) to illuminate 10 of the 120 quail eggs to observe the developing quail embryos. Students performed the candling procedure on Day 4 and Day 14 of incubation. Some of the eggs are fertilized and progressing nicely and some are not (most likely unfertilized). On day 14 many students were able to see the quail embryos moving during candling.
