I was just telling my husband yesterday how I just love your blogs. I have used your blog on how an egg is formed to show my questioning friends several time. Very Informational! Keep up the good work. Shawn Harkrider
Aren't you nice? Thank you for saying so. :)
I'm fascinated by this process every time I see these photos and every time I candle hatching eggs. To think that it takes only 21 days to go from egg to live chick is just mind-boggling!
I think it looks amazing how the development of the chicks . Very cool!
Better to open a few eggs and make the photos available than to have thousands of people doing the same thing at home. :-) Thank you for posting!
im always amazed at this, look at the big difference in day 19 and 21.
