How do you know if a peacock egg is still alive cause i put light to it and their this clear thing stuck inside does mean its alive?

Candling is the process of holding an egg up to a light in a darkened room to observe the development of the embryo. This can help you determine whether a peacock egg is still alive.

When you candle an egg, you should look for the following signs of life:

- A "heart"**: This is a small, red spot that is visible in the center of the egg. The heart is the first organ to develop in an embryo, and it is a sign that the egg is alive.

A network of blood vessels: These vessels will appear as thin, red lines that run through the egg. The blood vessels carry nutrients and oxygen from the yolk to the embryo, and they are a sign that the embryo is developing properly.

A dark, oval shape: This is the embryo itself. The embryo will become more visible as it grows, and it will eventually fill the entire egg.

If you do not see any signs of life when you candle an egg, it is likely that the egg is not alive. However, it is important to note that some peacock eggs may be difficult to candle, so you should always consult a qualified expert before you discard an egg.
