    What day would a broody stop leaving the nest?

    Hi All! First time letting a broody mama sit on eggs. She's got a clutch of 7 that were all viable at day 14. She's so determined I've been physically removing her from her nest once a day to eat/drink/poop since day 3, as I noticed she wasn't leaving at all. She's currently on day 17 - when...

    Day 17!!

    First eggs I’ve ever incubated and so far going well. I see slight movement on all 3 eggs. Tomorrow by 11am I’ll stop the automatic rotation! Hoping all goes well. I did notice however 1 egg weights more than the other 2.

    Candling Eggs

When I candle, a lot of the eggs are empty on the bottom/pointy end, or there is a wavy network of veins. However, when I tap the shell, the dark mass moves. These eggs are Easter...

    Seemingly underdeveloped eggs?

    so I put my chicken eggs in the incubator on the 13th of January, I’m on day 17 and it seems like the chicks are on day 16 development rather than day 17, and I was wondering if it would be safe to delay lockdown until day 19, to make sure that they don’t need to be turned anymore? I’ve candled...

    HELP! Day 17 small air sac

    Ok, I’ve kept humidity between generally 35-50%, sometimes dipping to 25% the whole time. It’s day 17 and these air sacs look too small to me. This is my first hatch, so maybe I’m wrong but I’m worried about my peepers! If they are too small, what can I do to save them? Am I too late? Should I...
