I didn’t break them open on the paper towel, I used a dish. Most of that fluid is from wiping the counter and some of the chicks were hard to get out of the egg.
Humidity was 50% and the bantams eggs I hatched this spring, hatched out nicely? Yes a few eggs were hard to get into because of the membrane? Though none were discolored?
Thank you. I do the same by watching the air cells during incubation but most of them looked like they were doing well. I live in AZ so our humidity is always low, except during the monsoon rains but that in July. My humidity was set at 50% and the temperature at 99.5. Those are what I’ve used...
Btw... I decided not to get shipped eggs again but I did find a breeder in my state with young birds and he’s so kind. He’s giving me a VERY nice deal on them, he says he has too many and he likes doing this for ppl when he can. Crazy good deal and has some really beautiful birds.
Yes after looking at the pictures again there are a couple with yoke sacks. To be honest, it’s been upsetting because they all died and they were expensive. We’re both retired so the cost was difficult overall and then this happened.
I tried to find a better picture for you but I couldn’t. With some the watery yoke spilled out of the shell when I opened it ( you can see the wet paper towel) and the intestines were darker and like a sausage winding around. I did play with it a little to make sure of what it was though. Thank...
My other hatches have been great! Hatched on time with no problems. Yes they were turned but after I let them rest from shipping I put them in the incubator and didn’t turn them for two and a half days but then I started turning them. I have an automatic turner and they were turned every two...
I found the article, eggtopcy, why didn’t my eggs hatch. It was very helpful but I’m going to put up some pictures here for comments. I have a Brinsea incubator and we’ve had this unit for two years. I’ve hatched duck, bantam and goshawk eggs in it so my humidity and temperature are spot on...
