Loud sounds of cheeping going on, saw one egg pipping this morning not sure if there are others but fingers crossed the late claimed eggs are hatching :-) -
Float Testing, Checking Egg Viability For Late Or Overdue Hatching
The ones left are all in the darkest stage, I'm not sure other than wait how I'm going to tell if they will hatch or if they died :-( -
Float Testing, Checking Egg Viability For Late Or Overdue Hatching
Oh thats good, I'll give her to Sunday with this hatch and then will need to to candle the eggs to see if there is any sign of anything going on, if its a bust then I will move her and give her a fresh set - at least then I will also know when 21 days is from, shes eating and drinking fine and... -
Egg autopsy (Blech)
Apologies I came across this thread, so hope its ok to post this on here, I was wondering if anyone had any idea at what number of days this poor little thing died, it was still in the main sac so I'm guessing still a little bit off the 21 days?

Float Testing, Checking Egg Viability For Late Or Overdue Hatching

Float Testing, Checking Egg Viability For Late Or Overdue Hatching
I hope so, I'm so upset with myself, I just got all panicked by the exploded egg and didnt want her sitting on anymore bad ones, she's a dinky wyandotte and had taken it upon herself to claim 21 eggs, but because she accumulated whilst brooding an original batch of 14 we didnt realise she'd... -
Float Testing, Checking Egg Viability For Late Or Overdue Hatching
I wish I had come across this post first, now I'm worried that I might have killed my potential chicks, got home and found one of the eggs under the broody had exploded, turfed her off and removed that as did a quick clean up of the area, we don't know exactly how many days the eggs are that she...
