The bright light--yes. This is called "candling" from the days when a guy
would sit there holding up each egg in front of a candle. The light would
shine through and if there were a developing embryo inside, it would show
also, and you'd say "Yuk a pooh!" "Give that to the dog!" or some other
thing like that. Me mither telled me about this whan I was young... Me
mither having been born in 1907, and her mither knowing how to cut for the
pip (whatever that is) on chickens. Currently I think they use an electric
light and maybe a compupeter...
