So, while this isn't a weather blog, it snowed today?! Blech. Hence my decision to lighten things up and begin with some chicken jokes.
Q: What do you call a rooster who wakes you up at the same time every morning?
A: An alarm cluck!
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road, roll in the mud and cross the road again?
A: Because he was a dirty double-crosser!
Now for the science!
Oh, how they've grown! It's getting harder to see little details when candling the eggs, because the embryo is taking up much more space. These eggs are only one week away from their hatch date!
The air cell is getting bigger. The embryo's body is now starting to grow downy feathers everywhere. The eyes are completely covered now by fully formed eyelids. The bones are beginning to harden. Claws have formed on each toe, and the scales on the legs are starting to overlap.
