Candling a Chick Egg at Day 11

Incubated eggs are candled to see how the growing embryos are doing. We candle by holding the egg up to a very bright light in a dark room. The light doesn't hurt the embryo.
This chicken embryo is eleven (11) days old. When you watch the video, see if you notice:
* The air sac inside the egg.
* The 11-day old chicken embryo (see how much bigger it is than the 6-day old embryo) moving inside the egg. The movements are much stronger than the 6-day old embryo!
* A network of blood vessels (appears orange in the light)
