Past three days been very minimal movement if any and today there’s an air bubble floating around the egg separate to the air sack :( still quite strong veining...

    Worried about duck egg; dead embryo?

    Hi folks, I'm incubating some eggs for the first time that were abandoned (the ducks in my park look like farm breeds that have been dumped). I decided to take the eggs home with me and incubate to give them a second chance at life; they've all been doing well but I'm concerned about my oldest...

    When should I candle for the 2nd time?

    I candled on day 4 to get an idea of how many are developing. When should I candle for the 2nd time? I'm incubating silkie chicken eggs.

    Internet pip but no movement day 22

    Hi All, Is this an internal pip? The air sac also looks misshapen so I’m not sure what is going on. 3 eggs all hatched day 21 but this one isn’t making any progress. No movement or chirping either when I tap on the egg. These were shipped eggs and only 4 of 13 made it to lockdown so something...

    Confirming this egg is fertile.

    So previously i’ve posted about my first time hatching ducks. When i posted the photos of my duck eggs i was told that only one of them was fertile. I cracked the eggs (exept for the one i was told is fertile) and yep, no baby. So it’s day 29 of this fertile egg being in the incubator. We can’t...

    Can an egg be “dead” and still have veins? Is the chick alive? (pic attached)

    Newbie to hatching eggs. On Sunday around 5pm I gave some fertile eggs to my broody hen. Tuesday afternoon I checked and one of the eggs had dropped out of her nest and was on the ground and cold, presumably overnight. I put it back under her but assumed it wouldn’t develop since it was cold. I...

    Are there two chicks in this egg?! Natural incubation/hatching day 14-ish

    I posted the footage here because I was just so excited to get her movement on camera, but am I going nuts or are there two chicks in here? Or is that just her absorbing the yolk? She should be a little over two weeks along.

    Is this a blood ring? (Incubation Day 6)

    Hello, I am completely new to this site and very new to incubating chicken eggs. I made my very own incubator, and before anyone says anything about "why are you wasting time making one when you can just buy one? etc..." some people just like to build things and have the free time to do it. I...

    Egg Development (not a question)

    The candler that was used is a Magicfly Egg Candler. Why Candle? Candling allows you see the development of eggs from day one to before hatch, remove possible exploders, rottens, and eggs that stopped development. It also allows you to see cracks in eggs before incubating, (which should be...

    Candling day 25 (lockdown) with unexpected results - HELP!

    We set 30 eggs, 6 of our own khakis, and 24 purchased from a breeder to expand our flock and get some new types of duck breeds! I fully realize it was an early start, before hatching season is in full swing, but compared to past experiences, I'm having a terrible go of it this time! Only 12 eggs...

    Is the egg alive?

    Hi! I found this egg in my backyard and I cannot tell if it’s alive. My friend’s brother thinks it’s a goose egg. Anyways, I tried checking to see if it was alive by doing this thing called “candling” and I still can’t tell if it’s alive or not. If it is alive, any tips on taking care of it will...

    Hatching day candling

    Hello :) So, I have this one egg due to hatch tomorrow. I've had pretty poor luck with my last few hatching attempts. My last two hatches, they pipped and hatched about two days early, with weird deformities (curl toe, small amount of unabsorbed yolk), bad hatch rates. I found out today that the...

    Unsuccesful hatch from broody hen. What went wrong?

    Hilda is frequently broody. We have two roosters so when I discovered her sitting on a clutch of eggs I decided to go ahead and let nature take its course. Nature may have indeed taken course- but it ended with no hatched chicks- and a Hen that is still broody and now sitting on air. Im hoping...

    Are my eggs fertile?

    Hey I am completely new to hatching eggs. I attached a picture of 2 2-3 day old eggs. I am not sure if they are fertile or the yolk is just very large. Can someone help me identify them?

    Best Egg Candler

    Hello everyone! I am currently incubating some Ameracuana eggs with very thick shells and the flashlight I usually use to candle doesn't seem to be working as well on these eggs. Does anyone have any suggestions about good flashlights or candlers that work well on dark, thick shells? I've found...
