Peacock Candling

Day 12 of peacock incubation and I finally got around to candling them. According to my quick Google search, that's around the time the embryo begins moving inside the shell. 

I could see wiggling and moving inside 12 of the eggs! It's amazing; every time I saw the twisting and fluttering, it brought a huge smile to my face. 

Three eggs had veins developing, but I didn't detect movement. Not very worrisome since it's right around the time they'd start moving. Five are probably quitters but they were questionable enough I left them in. Those I marked with a permanent marker where the air sack is so the ink wouldn't absorb through to the chick. I'll candle again in a few days and see how they've progressed!
