Whatever you want If I were setting my own eggs, with eggs from another I would wash them . But either way I would set the eggs . Can't tell you how many times I have set washed eggs . You can clean an incubator no problem .
Yeah what she said :clap
I sometimes wash dirty eggs . I either use Mannapro egg wash or wipes or clean water and a damp cloth . There are a lot of varied opinions as to wash or not to wash . I have added hydrogen peroxide to the wash water and even a little bleach . I can't say it helped or hurt hatch rates are always...

Sorry about that .What day are the on ? I have had cracked eggs and even a couple that were badly smashed hatch before . You might try liquid band aid on the ones that are slightly cracked . wish the girls were on . They might say coconut oil on the membrane . or something like that . But...
You can pip the shell . I have piped them zipped them and taken them out of the shell a lot more than once . Go slow to ensure the yolk is absorbed completely . Assisted hatching is a lot better with small incubators .The survival rate is a lot higher . I've had a lot more success in small...
Well hands on folks have a saying for hatchers like you .And I just been dying to us it. and Amy and all feel free to save it for future use but hey it's all in fun
Just took a look at your incubator model . I think you should check the door gasket to be sure it's a good fit and sealing properly . Try taking a sheet of printer paper and see if you can slip it between the door gasket and cabinet with the door closed . If there is a gap at the top it would...
How's My favorite little Eskimo? Depends on how much blood was lost .It should hatch on it's on . You have the piped end higher yes ? And your watching life sign right . You know me I'm a crack it open and pull that sucker out kinda guy . You've been doing this long enough you know all the...
I was wondering how your incubation was going . Sounds like couple of days more . I read and posted on your introduction thread and I'm glad you found this thread . It is a good thread and has a lot of very knowledgeable members on it or that drop in from time to time . Now that don't include...
What kind of incubator are you now using ? How old is it ? what type of heating element does it use ? You could have a louse or burnt connection at the element . Ride out the incubation. when you can disconnect the power supply inspect all your connections for lose or burnt black looking wires...
I stop on 16 or 17 my cabinets hatch on day 20 and sometimes 19 . 17 for you would be good your air cells seem to be on track with the higher humidity . put a x at the low point of the air cell it makes it easier at lock down to keep it up .
