air cell

So my eggs are about 11 days old I think. This is my first time, and I'm afraid am doing it wrong. It come to my attention from a Facebook group that I should be concerned about the air pocket in these eggs. I'm supposed to have a pointy side down. So I took what I have and put them back into...

I just wanted a quick check of my air cells. I was running about 55% humidity (I know it spiked to about 57% for a day or two). We are at about day 7. Are they looking to0 small? Should I drop to maybe 35%?

I started with 30 eggs & after removing the yolkers & quitters I am on day 15 with 21 eggs growing. I’ve had humidity pretty high during first several days due to large saddled air sacs in several of these shipped eggs and they have been growing well. Now that we are in day 15 I’ve brought down...

A while ago I ordered turkey hatching eggs, they arrived with slightly detached air cells that moved when they were tilted (they stayed in the general area of the wide end of the egg). I kept them in an egg carton on the pointy end for around 32 hours. They stopped moving as much so I decided to...

Hello, new hatcher here! I'm having trouble finding in-depth information on Magpie duck egg incubation anywhere online 😅 I currently have 2 eggs left (1 infertile) in my Brinsea mini II Eco incubator on around day 19/20. They've been developing nicely so far, lots of movement and veins. I'm not...

hi there i just made this same post via tapatalk but i cannot find it anywhere. i dont think tapatalk works that great or something. apologies if the thread really is already up. anyway ive got my first batch of goose eggs right around day 27. ive been tracing their air cells and it seemed to...

Hi everyone, This is my first time incubating eggs, and sadly out of the 12, only 1 was fertilized and made it this far. We are on day 19, but the photo shows the air cell markings from day 18, just before I took the turner out of the incubator. I ran the incubator with much too high of humidity...

Hello, it's my first time hatching duck eggs. I got them shipped from ebay and I've been monitoring their growth. I check for movement and they seem to be doing good. My concern is the air sacs seem to be a weird shape. Also I have no idea if they are too big or too small. I didn't pencil the...

My goose egg is on day 29 and I believe it has internally pipped but the air cell is massive! Is this normal? temps at 99.5 and humidity at 70% for the last few days, the egg has been like this for 2 days chick is still moving inside

I have two geese eggs that were shipped, I’ve candled them both and I think they both have detached air cells, I can see 1 large bubble in both eggs in the fat end but they only roll around at the top?

Hi, I’m incubating eggs in an incubator for the first time. The temperature has been consistent but the humidity has been from 30-70% in the last 2 days despite me trying to regulate it to between 45-55%. It’s day 13 and I’ve taken a picture of a couple of my eggs and I was just wondering if...

It's day 26 for my 2 eggs and hatch day for the other 2. I have a homemade styrofoam incubator I made and believe the temps went down a few times, so that's why they are probably late. I've been waiting patiently and decided to candle one of the day 26 eggs last night. I can see the chicks back...

I've hatched plenty of batches of eggs in my incubators before, and even shipped eggs once, but they were handled with great care. This is my first time handling shipped eggs that had severely detached air cells. I'm on day 7 and most look like the picture below and the lighter area on the...

Hello all, Hoping someone can advise me on my next steps here: I’ve got six eggs left in the incubator, two each marans, ameraucana and chantecler, and I can’t really see through the shells very well. I can see that the air cells are drawn down, I stopped turning day 18, temp 37-37.5, rh 65-70...

Our eggs were initially at 50-55% RH for first 6-7 days. After candling and realizing there is almost no air cell growth, I decreased RH to 40% and it did not help much, then to 26% (with no water at the bottom of incubator at all). It is day 18 now and air cells is still not where they suppose...

I recently bought 18 eggs from a Dutch bantam breeder. I have never hatched shipped eggs before. Some of the air cells are "saddled" and others are not attached. I have read that you have to put these eggs in egg cartons on day 18. But what about beforehand? Do they need a different humidity...

Hello everyone. Is anyone able to help me??.. So I have a bit of a disaster. My silkie has been sitting on her eggs. 3 of them. I candled them and everything is fine. Good development ect. so then the eggs were collected by accident on Xmas eve And were put in the egg basket in the house...

How do I do a hatch-along? Like... this? Am I doing it? I just put some eggs in the 'bator after some of them had quite an adventure. There are 17 mille fluer d'uccle in there that finally got to me after being shipped from Newfoundland on Monday. The seller requested the eggs be held for...
