Yesterday was hatch day so this is a final update on how it went. I've also got more pics and details on my blog: http://www.gapeysgrub.com/2016/04/hatching-shipped-eggs.html Only 1 of the shipped eggs made it to lock down and it didn't start well for this one. She started pipping in the...

Well shoot just did another candling and one of the svart hona's stopped developing at some point since the last candling. Only one svart hona left from the hatching eggs and the two olive eggers from my own flock. Best case scenario is I'll have three chicks hatch. I will likely purchase a few...

ok I did another candling tonight. bad news is the olive egger that previously showed signs of development now has a blood ring so I think that one is toast. There are now two with blood rings. There are still two left of the shipped eggs that still show signs of development though I only was...

I'm on day 6 and they aren't looking too great. So far only 3 of the 12 appear to be developing at all. If not for the detached air sacks I would have left them in the Brinsea but I do believe it's important to keep the air sack at the fat end of the egg and I don't think that would have...

I wish there was a report back telling how it went. I'm in a similar situation. shipped eggs and nearly all had a detached air sack. I had them separated into two brooders, my Brinsea and a borrowed Hovabator. After some reading I decided to put them all in the hovabator to give them a more...
