    @Pyxis any recommendations? I went ahead and broke the white membrane for Egg B using a sharp screw, and it now looks like this.. wondering if I should use coconut oil on the membrane? Humidity is currently at 80% Egg A has now broke off a good part of the shell & I can see it breathing just...

    Day 14 - 95 F for majority of time, still viable

    I would not use my experience as a baseline as I was testing out an experiment of hatching grocery store bought eggs so it could’ve been a multitude of reasons for failure! I have a second round of eggs in that are my own eggs and I know are fertile and the thermometer I was using before was...

    POWER OUT DAY 20 HELP

    Our power just went out because a transformer nearby blew up. On day 20 - temp is now down 91.6 with humidity 70°. Should I put blankets on the incubator? I’m so worried to have gotten this far & have this happen! They said power will be restored in a couple hours. Anything i can do?

    Day 14 silkies candling pics - over & under developed?!

    Hi! Yes the other ones (except one of them where I can't see very well) do have veins and are moving, just look much more behind. Yes - I have the farm innovators 4250 model incubator and am finding it does have hot/cold spots. I am guessing I should move the underdeveloped right under the...

    Day 14 silkies candling pics - over & under developed?!

    On day 14 for 8 silkie eggs and some look way more developed than others, any experience with this? I removed the turner today since some eggs look like day 18.

    Detached air cell?

    Here’s a video of my silkie eggs on day 7. I am not familiar with what a detached air cell looks like, so my question is does that block of shade towards pointy end look like one? Or does this look normal?

    Day 18 candling pic - ready for lockdown?

    This is my first time incubating chicken eggs & candling. I normally incubate emu eggs which you can’t candle & dont do lockdown. I have legbar (bluish green eggs) & copper marans (dark brown) so it’s hard for me to see. Do these look like they’re ready for lockdown? I’m using my husbands...

    Day 14 - 95 F for majority of time, still viable

    I've never incubated chicken eggs, and somewhere between day 1 and day 14 I confused myself (use to incubating emu eggs) and haven't noticed the temp is at 95 degrees. Candled today and all are still moving and alive. Should I adjust temp gradually or keep where it's at?
