    If u can see obvious veining than I assume they are alive. The veins in quitters disappear after a while. that's how I tell the difference on eggs that I cant see into very well.

    I had 4 more quitters, so i'm down to 18 of the 25 eggs I set. These are shipped eggs, so if I can get 15 to hatch i'll be happy. This is only my second time hatching from my homemade bator. last hatch I had a 50% hatch rate, so I hope I can keep that percentage going up. 1 week till hatch day

    Awesome....seems like once one pops out, they all start popping out. I remember my during first hatch they had all pipped in the night, but it was afternoon the next day and no progress. I left the house for two hours and when I returned there were 5 out

    What Purpletie said is very true. I do the dry incubation method, so I don't even have a hygrometer in my bator. I monitor humidity by looking at the air cell when I candle. One reason why I think the dry method works well for me is that here in southern Wi, especially in the warm months, it is...

    I have heard of that method, but I was hesitant to try it. I had just left it how it is, but I'm afraid it might lose too much moister down the road. Ok, awesome. Have not heard of this before, but I think i'll try it.

    So I accidently knocked one of my marans eggs and gave it some fractures. That was around day 4. I thought that it was pretty mush it for that one, but I left it in the bator and after candling the other day I would say im 99% sure its alive (hard to tell with such a dark egg). Any thoughts on...

    15 of 19 eggs are developing well. they are crosses of turkens, orps and marans over turkens, orps, and marans. So will probably have purebreds and mutts. there are also 6 marans eggs that are too dark to see yet, so 25 eggs in the bator now. Day 5 just ended tonight

    this might not have anything to do with it, but I think since the eggs are small, they are ready to hatch slightly sooner. as if they fill the egg slightly sooner than larger breeds.
