    Hi guys, please please let me know if my Indian runner duck eggs are developing properly in the egg!!! I candled them just now and it’s day 24. I have had the temperature at 99.5F and humidity between 40-45% throughout their incubation period. I’m in Canada so it’s a lot chilly here. I will...

    Video on candling eggs at day 7

    I am planning on candling my eggs tomorrow, and was doing some research on what I am looking for. This is my first time trying to hatch eggs, so BackYard Chickens has been extremely helpful. There is a good blog post with pictures, but in this 4-H video I found it is so much easier to...

    Day 22 candle no movement, still alive?

    Hi all, This is my second ever incubator hatch, first time was just a couple weeks ago with serama babies. I had 13 eggs develop to today, 11 have hatched out and are in the brooder. The last one into the brooder I had to assist, so the temp and humidity were a bit swingy for about two hours...

    Do air cells indicate development?

    Hello, I am incubating 7 silkie eggs from my own flock. Today was day eight of incubation. I candle them and didn't see any veins but the yolk looked dark. The air cell was the correct size for day eight and has grown considerably since I first put them in. Does this mean that an embryo is...

    Hey there, my duck Lillian is expecting to hatch two babies . She's taking great care of her eggs, and as far as I can tell, the ducklings are in perfect health. My only question Is "When will she become a mother?!" I've been candling the eggs daily, but for some reason I cannot tell which...

    Day 9, Candling my EE eggs

    My wife and I are incubating eggs for the first time, and took a shot at candling after reading about it on here and other sites. The last babies we hatched were done with a broody hen, so we were pretty hands off with the process. This time around we were super excited to candle and see...

    Is this possible for day 2?

    I candled today (day two) and in one egg I could see a small spot with an even smaller dark spot, as though the embryo already had an eye, but it's only day two. Could it be a meat/blood spot inside the egg? It was laid by quite a young hen, so it might be possible... I'll try to get pictures so...

    Schrödinger's Chick: Is it Alive or Dead? (candling eggs)

    I have 7 shipped hatching eggs under broody hens right now; 3 cochin eggs and 4 d'uccle eggs. I candled at day 11, and all but one of the d'uccles looked perfectly normal. (I use this Candling Progression post to reference if my eggs are looking normal/healthy.) The one d'uccle egg appeared to...

    Hatching and Incubating Geese Questions

    I have a total of 9 geese eggs in a styrofoam incubator and today is the 20th day they have all been in the incubator, but the person I got the eggs from gave me 6 of the eggs and said a goose had been sitting on them for around 4-6 days. The person did not want any more geese so I immediately...

    Day 18 questions

    Hello all, So I have eggs in an incubator in my classroom right now. I set 8 this past Wednesday and 5 more on Thursday (I know it's not ideal, but that's the situation). I should've counted the days more carefully and planned better because I just realized that day 18 is on a Sunday and what's...

    Strange air pocket in candled egg

    Hi all, I'm looking for some community input on the candling of an egg. I am letting my broody hen sit on four Marans eggs in a part of an outdoor coop that is separate from the other hens but open to the ambient air. Tonight marked the end of day 18, so I candled the eggs under her. The ambient...
