Adorable. If there were none pipped there is no risk as long as the humidity is back up for when they do pip. I open my bator throughout my hatch to remove chicks. I keep my humidity at 75% during hatch not letting it fall to 65% and I never have a problem. I have never had an egg pip or zip and...
My little one that had unabsorbed yolk last hatch I ended up wetting a paper towel putting it in the bottom of a coffee mug and popping the little guy/girl in there and placing the mug in the brooder. (Just make sure if you do this you offer water periodically.) I tried putting the mug back in...
I don't see a blood ring. Are you candleing from the bottom of the egg? I can't tell from the pic, but it looks like you are candling from the bottom, in which case, you won't see much. If you candle down into the egg from the air cell you should have a much more clear picture plus be able to...
If you set them Tues morning, today is day 6. You don't start your count until they have 24 hours of incubation. (Some people will argue that if you set them before noon you can count the day you set as day one, but that is illogical because they still do not have 24 hours worth of incubation so...
Cool. That's a good number. I see so many people go by the manufacture instructions or a well meaning friend and run humidity 50% or higher during the first 17 days, only to have next to nothing hatch and finding internally pipped/dead chicks in shell due to drowning. It's so sad. I push the low...
He created a monster!! lol Yup, his fault!
If something happens and knock on wood it doesn't, but don't give up. For one, the styrofoam incubators are tricky to get a good hatch from, especially in classrooms. My first hatch bombed and I wasn't going to try again but I am so gad I did because I...
I wouldn't throw them away. I don't think that was long enough of a heat spike to damage them. I'd keep them going and take a look in a few days to see if there is any veining. Good luck! I hope it works well for you it's an awesome experience for the kids!
