Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) eggs were opened daily thr oughout artificial incubation to determine characteristics which could be u sed to estimate the age of embryos collected in the field, taking into cons ideration that differences between artificial and natural incubation may in fluence developmental dynamics. Macroscopic observations and photographs ar e presented.
