float test

I currently have 3 Muscovy eggs in my care. Today is day 31 and I’ve started to worry. Firstly - I have never seen them move. Even in water. And Secondly - 2/3 are developing dark spots on the shell where the duck is almost like it is going rotten When hold a torch to the eggs they look...

i believe these eggs to be 17 days old, no signs of life anymore during candling.. does the float test show signs of life or no?

This is what I do when my eggs go past 21 days. This float test can help you figure out if the eggs are still viable. Watch this video to see how to perform a float test...

This is my first time hatching Mallard duck eggs. One out of two of my eggs has already hatched and is perfectly healthy. But the other, I’m very uncertain! Candling him, I could see him moving on day 23. It is now day 26. There is no moving, no pipping, and no quacking. I did the float test and...

On day 16, aka yesterday, I float tested my eggs. 2 moves which I was very happy about since I got them from the grocery store and made my own incubator. I just wanted to ask if it’s ok that I moved them so close to their hatching day?

Happy New Year :). Hi Everyone, I have a question. I have 7 button quail eggs in the incubator. I have followed the guidelines for hatching then both in regard to humidity and temperature and turning as well as lockdown. Today is day 16-17. I got anxious, which is totally my fault. I did a float...

This is not my video, just sharing something I saw and thought was intriguing. The settings on the posted video are set for share so here it is. I was only researching the effects of float testing on the early stages of development, as hoping to learn if the float test does in fact, wash away...

I did floating test on 16 and found 3 out of 7 eggs sinking completely. Today (Day 18) I did float test again and found 2 out of 3 sinked eggs started floating exactly till the air sac in air. Luckily I did not throw them and out of curiosity just kept them in incubator back. Why will such...
