    Help, unsure if egg is alive!

    So I've been incubating some duck eggs and I'm worried about one of them. There was movement and distinct veins for all of development until it grew big enough to fill the whole egg. Now I can't see any veins because most of the egg is dark and sometimes I think I see movement, but it could just...

    What happened to my eggs?

    I got an incubator to hatch out my Jersey Giant eggs. First time using an incubator. Out of 11 eggs 6 seem to not be doing anything (maybe infertile). 4 we’re developing then all the blood vessels seemed to detach and pool in the same spot. And one is maybe coming along properly. I have pictures...

    Incubating with multiple hens

    I have two jersey giant hens and an evil rooster. Last clutch we had he murdered several chicks before I could intervene (they were new for us and I didn’t realize he would be so aggressive with his own chicks. please don’t judge too harshly 😭) so we got an incubator. So I’m wondering, since...

    Early Lockdown

    So I found a nest of eggs hidden in our coop a couple weeks ago and the temperature here is hot enough to where they were incubating the whole time. They’re in an actual store bought incubator now, but all of the eggs are on different days of development. I also don’t know exactly what day they...

    Just hatched duckling flopping around and can't bend leg

    So my ducklings have started to hatch in an incubation that was rife with issues, shipped eggs coming to a 10,000 ft elevation, multiple half day power outages, multiple wrong end pips. Out of the initial 17 viable eggs I started with, I was whittled down to 11 by lockdown. 5 have hatched so...

    Genetics questions boggling my mind!!!

    :he I am a novice to genetics, but trying to make some sense of this. I have a goose (Miss Lemon) who came from a white Sebastopol goose and a Pomeranian Saddleback gander.

    Scattered hatch date--can't stop turning eggs

    So a while ago I posted a thread about 6 eggs that I took from a broody hen that I didn't trust. OF the 6, 5 were fertile and they are all doing well. But my family decided that since we are using such a huge incubator, they wanted to add 12 more eggs. And then 3 more. And then 7 turkeys eggs...

    Is this chick dead inside of egg?

    I'm having a horrible time trying to hatch. Seems like 1 out of every 4 eggs will hatch. I have a couple white leghorn/golden wyandotte eggs. The first one hatched right at 21 days, we are at 23 days on the other egg now and I'm pretty sure it's dead. I don't want to cull it too early but it was...
