Someone told me they are good layers for a year or two that burn out quickly. Does anyone know if this...

    Duct tape ok for cracked egg?

    Well sad to say...I opened the bator yesterday to rotate the eggs and there was an odd odor. It was coming from the egg with the duct tape.

    Sounds like a broody! See if she raises her feather at you if you get near her.

    It took me 2 days to get the temp regulated on mine. I did this before putting the eggs in.

    Legality?

    Help????

    Im not really sure there really is much more you can do. I wouldnt disturb him in the bator. Let nature take it's course. Hopfully he'll pull through. It sounds like you have learned a lot. Best of luck. Many chicken prayers coming your way.

    Incubation Expert Please - Mildew Issue - Setting New Batch Today...

    Make sure you are not adding too much water. It needs to evaporate slowly. Standing water will form a slime. Also make sure you have vent at the top. Good luck!
