Eggs can be too porous? *Update*

Date sort Score sort
I haven't been able to get any to hatch but, I've had other issues come up. Someone else had a dozen of my eggs and her daughter screwed the hatch up at about day 15 by breaking an egg. One hatched. The others were on track up to that point. My last attempt at hatching the thermometer read to high but, the chicks did develope just was to cold to quite make it.

Hopefully, someone more knowledgable than us will step in.
 
I just candled the eggs (day 4). I could see veins and a tiny baby in one of the brown ones. I think I saw a dot in another brown one. The EE eggs and leghorn eggs were not fertilized but left them in there.

I might end up with only 2 chicks out of 10 eggs.

It's hard to tell though, the eggs are all brown (except for the 2 duds). The 2 I saw something in were lighter brown than the rest.

Sometimes it's hard to tell at day 4. I started with 2 dozen of mine and I'm down to 1 dozen.

Two were clear and the others passed on the way. They're on day 12.
 
My last batch of eggs none were porous...but this batch from the same chickens eating the same food and most of the eggs are porous. There has to be something that causes it. Because last week all eggs were solid. This week all eggs are spotty. I set 18 and maybe 10 of them are really porous. All showing veins though
 
I had the same question about porous eggs. I have one that is growing. with too porous eggs will they develop and not hatch? or will the chicks have problem when they do hatch?
