    Hatching Period Conflict with Lockdown Date

    Thanks for the reply and my apologies for the delay. Just for the record if its of any use to anyone reading this and given that in the meantime I had more time to research/experiment on this: When a specie's "Incubation Period" consist of a range (Example 17-19 days) rather than a single...

    Hatching Period Conflict with Lockdown Date

    Thanks a lot, that's the kind of answers I'm after! :) A related question if maybe you know the answer. The general consensus is to stop the turning 3 days before the hatch date (so that the unhatched chicks can orient themselves in the right direction, etc). For species with a higher...

    Thanks, that's what I'm after. Care to share more info (if you have any) regarding the reasoning behind your answer? thank you

    Hatching Period Conflict with Lockdown Date

    Well done and many thanks. Apparently you are the first one to really give my question a go (as opposed to the majority of others who simply "questioned my question instead" - and I'm saying this without any disrespect to anyone, I appreciate all the answers whatever they are) Just a comment...

    Hatching Period Conflict with Lockdown Date

    Yes you put in much simpler words. The criteria is what it is, meaning that the eggs cannot be really touched or inspected. For anyone saying that the eggs should be inspected etc, i'm sorry but that's NOT possible and it wouldn't help saying to do that (even trough obviously that would be the...

    Hatching Period Conflict with Lockdown Date

    I'm talking about birds in general. poultry do not have the problem because their hatching periods are small and do not conflict. Some Waterfowls and parrots do have the problem - among others. Actually I'm not expecting a straight answer, also I'm not expecting someone to tell me that the...

    Hatching Period Conflict with Lockdown Date

    Thanks for the message. Yes, something similar happened to me once too. ie: forgetting to move a batch of eggs to the hatcher/stoping the egg turning and then suddenly i noticed that it was 'raining' chicks! (because the incubator was a cabinet style one) - so basically they hatched while the...

    Hatching Period Conflict with Lockdown Date

    Thanks for sharing. Yes indeed, I am asking this for a project. To be simplistic, most hatching charts will tell you about the lock-down date and the hatch date - and in most cases (talking from experienced working with a commercial hatchery) those dates are spot on. Theirs really no need to...

    Hatching Period Conflict with Lockdown Date

    Thanks for the reply. Actually there are specie of birds (some waterfowls too) with such fluctuations (not chicken eggs however). Your recommendation is good, one could also candle the eggs to check the progress and act accordingly. Unfortunately this is not an option for me, i kind of am...

    Feeling nervous - duck eggs

    I wouldn't do anything more than just wait for them to hatch by themselves. The incubation period is x amount of days, if during this time something went wrong and the conditions were not optimal (ie: fluctuation temperatures, etc) then you wont have a great hatch regardless what you do on your...

    Hatching Period Conflict with Lockdown Date

    Its a little different from my question but thanks for trying:)

    Hatching Period Conflict with Lockdown Date

    Thanks for the message. Just to clarify, yes I obviosuly know the specie of birds. I'm just asking a general question to hatching experts on what they do when a bird hatching chart is something like below: Whatever Bird Specie Hatch in: 23-28 days Lockdown in: 20-24 day Note: the problem is...

    Quail hatch 3 days early help

    which quail specie we are talking about and the day they hatched? an early hatch is normally due to high incubation temperature. what to do: - stop the egg turning if you didn't did that already. - open the incubator and do the lockdown process asap. its more likely that something will go...

    Hatching Period Conflict with Lockdown Date

    Hello, I'm hatching some eggs and found online that they hatch within 23-28 days and I should STOP the incubation from turning(Lockdown Date) at between the 20-24 day. The problem is, if I stop the eggs on day 24, its possible that the eggs might have already hatched (ie: because they can...
