I am already concerned with these eggs- I have 3. They are pullet eggs. I hatched pullet eggs last month perfectly fine but these are extra small. These could be her first 3 eggs or she could have stopped laying once the other heb went broody. I had 2 hens and was getting 12 eggs a week- I thought they were both laying. Then when the one hen went broody no eggs until a few days before the chicks were born. These eggs are skinny and small. Bantam eggs are already small but these are the smallest I've had. The only reason I incubated was bc she got killed by our puppy. We loved her and I wanted to give her eggs a chance.
I know about small pullet eggs not hatching or needing assistance so I am already wanting to help. It's day 20 at 1 pm. My last batch they hatched early at day 18-19. These are internally pipped and there are cracks in the shell. This one a piece of shell is off but not the membrane. Is this a pip? The other is a circle crack and a crack in the circle pushing out a little but not a clean break. I'm just wondering when to start the pip clock of 24 hours of no progress to help if I need to
