It shouldnt smell bad but usually I crack mine open in a plastic baggy thats sealed shut JUST IN CASE. I open 3 out of every hatch no matter if theres babies or not to check on growth and whatnot. :D its part of what I do.
Oh yeah Ive had chicks hatch a week before there set due date..idk why it happens but it does. Too high of heat or whatever the case...enjoy the precious bundle when it hatches completely!
I would leave it for another 3-4 and re check it. It looks like a blood ring..sorry if it is..I know how frustrating it is to find one. -.-
:) good luck though..keep me posted!
Well set 32 duck eggs march 18 and 24 and then had yet to hatch by this evening..I took them out of the bator..cracked a couple open. All were dead fully formed chicks, my rouen eggs hatched beautifully and so did my geese! Any ideas?
Honestly, i start all my hatches at 50% except ducks and my chicks hatch at 60% the last 3 days i pump my bator full of water whichever ways i can to help them little ones get out of their shells. :)
no peeps no nothing. no egg wobbling. and ive hatched MANY ducks and chickens before but muscovys this is my first time and there not being easy on me.
Day 39 of my muscovy eggs I KNOW theress babies in there. last movement was seen 5 days ago and even then the ducklings were so big it was **** near immpossible to see them. Help??
Funny thing is I worked on a chicken farm for 2 years and I culled all the time..My own birds I try and save...weird isnt it? haha idk what to do with this little here fella.
Hey there,
Im a long time incubator user..Been hatching almost all of my life (at the ripe old age of 21 :) ) and today i had a chick hatch with no eyes...this is a first..any ideas??
Happy to announce my fifth hatch is going off without a hitch minus one loss so far. Poor little guy sucked some water into its lungs..i did everything i could to save it.... :( <3 but the rest are doing amazing
p.s cant figure out how to post pictures anymore -.-
Oh btw the eggs come from hens and roosters fed layer crumb every day, fresh water supply and clean air to breathe in 12,000 in a barn with 4 barns in total. Parents are given medication such as electrolytes and immune boosters so to speak to help with the healthiest chick possible. The hatchery...
See there not shrink wrapped. For the first like 15 days my humidiity is at 30%-40% then it is raise to 60-70% during hatch, And the crustiness is yellow and looks like puss..which is not and Im at a l loss. Had 2 more last night. It is mind boggling. I know where my eggs come from, I used to...
I keep opening my eggs to a wonderful drowned chick. :( or they are all crusted up! Ive hatched lots and cant seem to quit getting the 10-30 eggs that do this! ANY ADVICE?
