    Turkey egg rocking on day 20?

    I’ve raised a lot of chickens, but I recently got ten turkey eggs that I am trying to incubate. Everything was going fine up until now. I have a batch of chicken eggs in a second incubator that are on day 20, and several have popped of those. But as I was looking in the incubator, I noticed a...

    Does anyone have experience with both? What are pros and cons? I'd you had to recommend only one. Which would it be?

    Early Silkie Pip

    Hey! First time incubating, and was wondering if this is normal. Eggs were put in on the 28th of April, and last night at around 12am I noticed one of the chicks has knocked off a piece of his shell. Since then, now 6pm the following day, he has made little progress but continues to chirp every...

And now it looks like there are only like 3-4, plus a bunch of duck eggs. And obviously there is at least one bad one there if not...

    What is this?

    I know it will be a simple answer, but I couldn’t find anything online. My chick just hatched and I see this fluid sac. I have never soon one before. This chick took 24 hours to hatch, and seems to be doing just fine. Thank you!

    Twins?

    This is my first time incubating chicken eggs and I think we have twins. The egg didn’t seem to be big like a double yolker but it was bought from someone to hatch and I’ve never had this breed before-Ayam Cemini-so I’m not sure how big their eggs typically are. I wish I could upload the video...
