This is Nebraska Extension in Lancaster County’s candling presentation given 7 days after eggs are placed in incubators in local classrooms as a part of the 4-H Embryology school enrichement program. After answering students’ questions, the room lights are turned off and presenter has small groups of students come to the incubator to see eggs be candled. The class keeps track of how many winners, quitters and yolkers are in their incubator. Quitters and yolkers are removed so they don’t rot.
