The chickens are getting their bodies in position for hatching, and are turning their beaks towards the air cell.There is less fluid around the chick embryo now. This is the last day for turning the eggs.
Here is a video of an egg candled at day sixteen. The majority of the egg is dark as the embryo is filling the space. You can really see the chick inside moving quite a bit on the end near the air cell. The beak is almost a quarter of an inch long. The eggs are really entering the home stretch!
