Candling the Eggs

Join us at Crandall Public Library for a hands-on, two-part exploration of chicken and egg incubation with local expert George Steele! Families may attend one or both sessions—attendance at the first session is not required to enjoy the second.

Part 2: Candling the Eggs
George Steele returns to candle the eggs, allowing children and caregivers to see which eggs are developing and which are not. Any non-developing eggs (“duds”) will be removed, while the remaining eggs will continue incubating. Families may continue to visit or sign up to help monitor temperature and water levels. Once the eggs hatch, the baby chicks will be moved to a brooder box and will stay at Crandall through April school spring break week!
