    Thoughts on the Puisor IO 103?

    I'm thinking of getting a new incubator because I currently only have 1 incubator and I know the eggs will have diffrent hatch days. Some should even be 1 week apart. I heard it's not that good for the hatching chicks to push around and get their goo on the other eggs that aren't hatching. I've...

    Ducky had started to externally pip 24+ hrs ago and made some holes! When i could finally see his beak through the hole i noticed the membrane still covering most of it.

    Shipped Eggs, possibly scrambled, how long until def bad?

    New to incubating bird eggs and could not tell much from candling my shipped chicken eggs on day 1. How many days in the incubator before they make it known that they are definitely bad? I'm on day 3 and worried because none of them smell yet, but they can't all have made it ok. Thanks in advance.

    Possible blood ring

    Hi, so I want to preface by saying that I'm not normally a chicky person. A friend brought over farm fresh eggs but when I was making my breakfast yesterday one of the eggs was too fresh if you know what I mean. I felt really bad about killing an egg that had a viable embryo in it and so I...

    I was candling my Pekin duck eggs on their 4th day. They all looked amazing with veins and a healthy shell, but I saw a floating mass in two of them, that floater to the top no matter where I turned it. What is it?
