      When the fun stops, STOP.

                  How To Check If The Egg Is Fertilized ?
                  Method 1, uncraked. "Candling. Hold the egg up to the candlelight so you can point out the blood spots and embryo. You will notice some eggs may appear opaque."

                  Method 2, cracked. "You can see the white circle present in the egg yolk is more defined in fertilized chicken eggs than in their unfertilized counterparts. You can also see small red lines running along the surface of the egg yolk."
