well it started out as me putting the yoke and white in the bag to use as an egg shell, but they didnt make it.
The bags I used were like the egg shell because it let O2in and CO2 out.
I tested it to see if it can really work and it did.
I improved so much since the first try and im not going to quit until I make it work.
cant wait until I can try it again.
I think it was the humidity, because I had it at 0% for the first 17 days, then at 77% 18-20, and I used a turner, so it was turned around 7 times a day.

It was fully formed and nothing wrong with it, so the bag did work, but tried to hatch on the small end but couldnt get there.
Bad news everyone, the chick didnt make it, I had a feeling something was wrong so I candled and didnt look good, so I put a hole in the top and didnt see anything move.
These are the main issues I have going in the hatch
because the egg was in the bag I wasnt sure how the oxygen was in the bag.
Sign: Missing eye(s), other eye abnormalities. Causes:
1. High incubator temperature during days 1 to 6.
2. Low oxygen during days 1 to 6.30.
Exposed brain. Causes...
Day 19: Intestinal loop retraction complete; yolk sac begins to enter body cavity; amniotic fluid (swallowed by embryo) disappears; beak may pierce air cell and lungs begin to function (pulmonary respiration).
The cam is back up running.
Last time I had a hatch it was day 19, so im using the same temp as last time so there is a chance that it could hatch tomorrow.
My video camera will be on the egg all day and same with my cam.
I candled one last time and it seemed a little farther than day 18...
Day 18: Blood volume decreases, total blood hemoglobin decreases. Embryo should be in proper position to hatch: embryo's long axis the same as long axis of egg; head in large end of egg; head to right and under right wing; beak pointed toward air cell; feet toward head.
Its Lock Down...
Day 17: Amniotic fluid decreases; embryo positioning head toward large end, toward right wing with beak toward air cell; definitive feathers begin.
Day 17-
Sure give it a shot, and I hope after high school to get into gentic engeineering.

What I use is a butter container with Kordon breathing bag, it allow gas exchange but maintain moisture level and allows oxygen in, CO2 out.
I have tried cutting a part of the...
Day 16: Beak, claws, and scales relatively cornified; albumen is practically gone and yolk increasingly important as food source; down feathers cover body; intestinal loops begin to retract into body.
