I did an eggtopsy on one that died. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=387061 My other one is trying his hardest to get out. Been like this for at least 16 hours. There is a hole in the top of shell, I can see his beak perfectly but he sits there. From time to time he...

Quote: These eggs are driving me crazy !! I candled the discoloring egg & there is life BUT the pores of the egg are getting bigger/darker. Maybe I should put it in my other incubator? Am I the only weird-o with weird-o eggs?

Day 24 !!!! Out of the 4 eggs, 3 has VERY visable life inside the shell. One is now starting to move into the air sack. This is good, right? HOWEVER ... I still have one that is starting to discolor more with what appears to be pores expanding & it looks like pen marks but no one seems to...

Quote: They are (3) Barred Rocks & what I'm calling a mystery. It's a Buff Orp x Dixie Rainbow. I'm not pulling them out just yet but ...

Quote: what day is it??? Nicole ... 21 ... 22 at noon tomorrow.

Am I doing okay? My temps I know are good at 100 but how about my humidity at 75-80%? The tap, tip, scratch sound is gone. Is that normal? I'm really, really scared ....

Kedreeva ... that means I have a live chicken !!! I done thought I killed off the last 4. Oh Lord ... I have tears ... this is the best news I've heard in the last 21 days.

Having never done this, am I hearing right? Is that a little "tap, tap, tap" on the inside? It's so faint I have to almost put your ear to the incubator. Then ... it stops. Wait, did I hear it again? Maybe that was my stomach growling from the 3 cookies I ate earlier? Hold up ... where did...

Quote: Crazy12 ... there's no odor to the incubator or egg shell. I'm really worried about this so I'll be watching vigil tonight. If it gets worse, I'll be pulling it out. My hopes are running low right now.

HELP ... My egg is starting to discolor in lock down. Here's the information ... scroll to very bottom. No one has answered yet & I'm desperate. What do yaw think??? https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=377111&p=2

I'm on lock down as of today. Once it begins, is it usually 2-3 days later before something starts to happen or can it be sooner?

I SAW MOVEMENT !!! I was about to toss out an egg on day 14 but decided I'd give it another day. With no hope, I candled the egg & the most gorgeous heart beat I've ever seen. My BR IS ALIVE !!!!

TigerJane ... I'm feeling like I'm doing something wrong. Out of 24 I'm down to 8 with 2 un-sures. The one I'm praying makes it is the Dixie Rainbow (that most know nothing about) crossed with a Buff Rock. I can find NOTHING on the two mixed. Called a farm & they don't know either...

When do I go into lock down? I put my eggs in on July 22 at 4:30pm. Today is day 13. August 11 will be day 20. I'm guessing August 8th (Day 17)? Did it die? Being day 11, I can barely see anything when I candle my eggs. There are veins but movements is nearly impossible to see. there's...

As it sits now, after hearing what chickee had to say, out of 24 shipped & fertilized eggs, I now have 9 still going, one is cracked/thriving but not sure if it will make it & 3 I'm going to give until late tonight to decide on. I was hoping for at least a 50% hatch rate. Now I'm scared I'm...

Quote: #1 and #2 are clears (not fertile or never started growing) #3 is harder to tell from your picture. Could be a chick in there. Can you see any veining in egg #3? Is the shell porus and hard to see into? there is no veining in #3 like their is in my others. It's a "blob" that sits...

I'm beginning to wonder about my eggs! I'm on day 8 & was wondering if someone could tell me what they think. I think they are gone. #1 https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/48421_cas_0889.jpg #2 https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/48421_cas_0890.jpg #3 ...... the...

Pax ... 65 ??? WOW

Day 7 ... I candled my eggs this morning and WOW at the development. The veins are amazing. Not sure what the "membrane" is but I saw the little black dot (read that is an eye?) and then there are others that seem to be going at it slower. I placed them directly under the light in case I'm...

Kedreeva & Abooth ... can you get an idea of what is going on in the egg before day 10? *Not to throw away* away but maybe veins or some other indication of possible life form growing?
