    What are you looking for when you candle coturnix quail eggs?

    Day 4 of incubation. I have 5 quail eggs I'm trying to incubate for my first hatch. Out of the 5 I think 2 are infertile because they lit up pretty thoroughly when I tried candling them (but this is my first hatch so I'm leaving them in the incubator in case I'm wrong). The other 3 are...

    Peafowl candling - duds?

    I haven’t hatched peafowl in years. I have 4 eggs in my still air incubator. Today is day 17. I’ve candled every few days since day 7 and I haven’t seen veins at all. The eggs are very hard to see through so I wasn’t too worried. But the development seems to have stopped. I can’t find any good...

    Duck Eggs Alive Veins Pipping

    Hi there everyone 😊 I'm completely new to caring for Duck Eggs!! - A Duck laid 14 in our garden and then a cat killed one and scared the mother away :( So I've decided to look after them. They have been in the incubator I bought for them roughly two days, and I've noticed a little crack on one...

    Dead chicken egg? (day 9)

    This is my first time incubating eggs. I had some trouble with my first incubator, and had to buy another on day 4. I quickly candled them while I was transferring them, and this one definitely had growth and was moving. It's now day 9, and I candled them again to find this one like this. It's...

    Fertile egg? Looks weird

    I started with 4 duck eggs, 2 were for sure infertile and one is developing good but this last one I’m confused about. I’ve never been able to see veins but it also looks way different then my 2 eggs that were not fertile. Photos below. First photo is my non fertile egg, then my fertile egg (on...

    Scrumdidlyump’s First Hatchapolooza

    Day 4 14 eggs from my silkie roo and cinnamon queen and buff orpington hens. I think both will produce sex linked chicks? Shells are dark, so tricky to see. Definitely movement and development in 3! THIS IS SO COOL

    How can I tell if my egg is a quitter?

    Hello! I've never hatched eggs before, but I found a lone pheasant egg by the side of a road the other day, very clearly abandoned, so I took it home with me. I noticed that it had a lot of development - possibly around 10-13 days. It had veins, a very clear air sack, and a clear embryo- and I'm...

    Candling

    Hi, I went away for a couple of days and someone else was looking after my eggs, they didn’t put the turning rod back into the slot properly so I’m not sure how long they weren’t turned for, anywhere between 1-3 days 😩 they’re now on day 20 and the egg sacks are looking way to big and have...

    Duck Egg Candling questions

    Hello! We found this abandoned duck egg and put it in an incubator for about 2 weeks now. Because we found it abandoned, we’re not sure how long it had been since it was laid before finding it or if it’s alive. I have a few pictures of 2 weeks of being in the incubator if anyone can tell if it...

    Please help! Aylesbury duck egg, precious to me. Large light patch at the bottom. Sticky? 6 days to go

    Hello, please I'd be hugely grateful for some advice. I have one Aylesbury duck egg which is very precious to me. We had 3 adult ducks, but 1 female and 1 male got killed by a fox. We were devastated and my children have been really upset. One female got away, injured but she's recovered. She...

    Looking for help/advice with duck egg

    Hi, everyone. I was hoping you could help me with a duck egg I've been looking after for just over the past week. I've been getting help and advice from a few people who have some experience with hatching eggs. They've aided me tremendously, but they're not always able to reply on short notice...

    Duck eggs

    Okay so on the 22nd we noticed our Khaki Campbell had laid a nest of eggs-not sure how long they have been there.. she didn’t sit on them constantly until about 3 days ago. I candle every couple of days and right now I’m not seeing veining. Should i be seeing veins at this point or still too...

    Quail eggs in different stages of development

    I'm probably jumping the gun because it's only day four, but I have a pretty powerful egg candler and of my 16 coturnix eggs I can see clear vasculature in 3, darkening in 5 more, and then some eggs that are barely not glowing, but still not as far along. They're spread throughout the incubator...

    Hatching a quail egg in my bra

    So this is crazy, but I've seen on here that it can work, so here goes nothing. My incubator has been a little inconsistent the first day of having eggs in it. My infrared thermometer read egg temperatures ranging from 98 to 102.2 degrees F, and I have more eggs coming in a few days. So...

    how often do you candle you're eggs??

    Hi, Im hatching 2 eggs (only 2 of them were viable when I candled day 10) and I was just wondering how often y'all candle you're eggs and what you're hatch rate with how often you candle you're eggs is. I have candled mine on day 2 day 10 and planning to candle day 13 (today) and then right...

    This isn’t viable, is it?

    Only day seven on a button quail egg! The rest have a nice healthy shadow and veining, but this one... hmm... not sure what I’m looking at, but it doesn’t look as great. They did come over a slightly chillier few days (50s), one came cracked, and I’ve already decided 7/13 are viable for sure...
