    Did I kill my eggs?

    Hi y'all. I am unsure if I killed my eggs trying to save the ones that hatched. This is my first time incubating eggs. I Bought the Natures Right 360, but got ripped off and it never came. I had to buy a still air tractor supply incubator because my fertile eggs arrived and I had nothing to...

    Umbilical cord?

    Today is Day 20 of my incubation and I woke up this morning to a perky chick staring at me as I was refilling the incubator with water- it scared me because I was obviously not expecting that at 4 AM! That chick is doing well and I noticed at the same time that another egg had pipped! When I...

    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...

    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.

    Duckling Eggs incubating- fertile or not?

    Hi! This is my 5th year of incubating duckling eggs but the earliest I’ve done it (usually do it in April/May, but had to do it early this year because I’m travelling). I’m worried that the eggs I have are not fertile as when I candle them I don’t see development. I’m on day 5/6 today (they were...

    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?
