Day 15- Candling

Day 15

We have learned that some eggs do not have ducks (or chickens) that grow inside, these are like the ones we buy from the grocery store.

Some eggs; however, do have ducks (or chickens) that grow inside. We do not buy these from the grocery store. These are purchased from farms that raise ducks and chickens.

We had a mixture, just to compare the difference between eggs with ducks and without.

The first picture you will see does not have a duck inside. It clearly looks like one from the grocery store.

The second picture has a duckling, that is becoming a bit crowded. Look closely at the picture and you will see the baby duck. We have labeled the parts we could identify.

 

 

No Baby Duck

How Sweet! A baby duckling is growing! It was sleeping this morning. Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Roper and I could see the duckling "swimming" around inside the egg.

Make Way for Ducklings

We read Make Way for Ducklings about a mother and father Mallard Duck looking for a great place to raise their ducklings. In the next few weeks we will be creating an inviting and safe place for our ducklings, including their very own swimming pool!

Stay Tuned....

We will candle our eggs again tomorrow morning! According to our research, by days 14 and 15 you can see the baby duck "swimming" around inside the egg! How exciting. We will post pictures for you!
