    Day 18 - Is this Egg still alive???

    I have 10 eggs in the incubators and one of them looks different. The other nine eggs look fine nice veining and visible movement. There is no movement in this egg and the veining is hard to make out. Please let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.

    what time of day do I enter lockdown on day 18?

    I know I already made a post today but I was wondering, when on day 18 should I do lockdown? should it be the time I put them in? Like if I put it at 1:00 pm do I do lockdown at 1:00 at day 18? Specifically is there a number of hours until lockdown? (Since 18 days is 432, should I do it 432...

    Day 18 - When is it best to start lockdown?

    Hi everyone! Is there a specific time during day 18 that I should be putting the eggs on lockdown? Some blogs say to do it at the end of day 18 and others say at the beginning. Does it matter? A new day starts at 3:02pm. Any advice you have is greatly appreciated!!

    My broody hen isn't feeling well so I'm going to take away her 1 egg and put it in the incubator. I have 1 egg in the incubator that is on day 16 and the egg from the hen is day 18. I'm planning to turn off the turner and go into lock down with both eggs today when I move in Day 18 egg. Though...

    Floating test day 18

    It is day 18! But before "lockdown" starts you might want to check those chicks one more time. A lot of people do a final "candling" but at this point you cant see nothing but the air sac most of the time so seeing movement is a challenge...what's next.."water/floating test"..now let me tell you...

    Day 18, am I going to have a runt?

    it is lock down day. This is going to be my first hatch. When checking all the eggs prior to lock down, one chick seems much smaller than the others. There is still about a quarter or so of the egg we can see through. (S)he is moving away inside though just like the other eggs. Is this chick...

    I Counted Wrong...

    I have a quick question. I took the egg turner out of the incubator a day too early because I was counting my days wrong. Will the chicks still be okay? I hear peeping due to hatch day being tomorrow, not today.

    Day 18 Final Lock Down

    This batch was a disaster. 8 out of 38 was already taken out, and I suspect few more eggs to be dead.

    Day 18 - external pip noticed at lockdown, now 24hrs no progress

    Hi guys, This is my first time incubating eggs instead of letting my broodies take care of everything. I have a little Janoel incubator with 8/12 eggs looking like they’re growing well. I was candling them at 5pm yesterday (day 18) to remove the ones with no growth and to lockdown...

    Small Air cells on day 18 with an internal pip! Anything i can do?

    So I use a dry method in my incubator for the first 18 days and did that as usual. This time I have different breeds with some large eggs like EE's and Austrolorps and small eggs like Ayam Cemani. All the big eggs have nice big air cells but the small eggs seem to have REALLY small air cells...

    Lockdown Humidity Question

    I've been trying dry incubation, the eggs are on Day 16 right now. The humidity has been between 30-35% during incubation. What's the best way to get the humidity where it needs to be for lockdown without going to high? I'm still new to incubating so if you have any other lockdown tips you...

    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...

    Egg position on Day 18?

    I've been reading all the articles on incubating eggs. Today marks DAY 18! It said, "lay the eggs on their sides and position the lowest part of the air cell at the top of the egg." Can someone give me an example of what the "lowest part of air cell" is? I don't want to interpret it wrong. This...

    Coturnix Eggs Day 18-19 Concern

    I recently bought a dozen of Cotunix quail eggs and put them in the incubator. I waited 24 hours and went from there. Half of them ended up being fertile. It's now day 18, almost day 19, and I haven't seen or heard anything. I'm slightly concerned as to why they aren't internally pipping yet...
