    Goose eggs incubating, double yoke?

    Hey guys I ordered 6 pilgrim eggs on eBay and received 7, two arrived cracked so 5 went into the incubator. Just candled them (day 8) and two where obviously not developing. Two look normal but one looks a little weird so I wanted to see what you guys think. It’s my first time incubating goose...

    Marans LD Day 23...Internally Pipped?!?

    Hi All! I’m super new to hatching my own chicks. I have several batches in rotation in 2 incubators but my first batch was small and only one made it to lockdown. They are Mystic Marans which for all intents and purposes look just like BCM. So I assume anything applicable to BCM would help me. I...

    Saddle Shaped Air Cells in Shipped Turkey Eggs - Day 8

    A while ago I ordered turkey hatching eggs, they arrived with slightly detached air cells that moved when they were tilted (they stayed in the general area of the wide end of the egg). I kept them in an egg carton on the pointy end for around 32 hours. They stopped moving as much so I decided to...

    Hi guys! This is my first time hatching duck eggs and I'm currently on day 27. All five of my eggs are still alive, with two having broken the internal air sack yesterday, and two beginning to pip. The one with the shell missing a bit began pipping yesterday afternoon, but I'm a little nervous...

    Help! Is this egg dead? (Day 30)

    I am afraid that my friend opened the duck egg too early and it is the last survivor after an incubator meltdown. It had not internally pipped yet and the membrane isn’t dry. However, it seems unresponsive and the veins have become less prominent and are fading. Is the poor baby dead? The most...

    Day 3 Development Progress?

    I'm on Day 3 of my first ever attempt at hatching and to say I'm excited is to say nothing! So far, 5 of my 10 eggs are growing beautifully with a nice clear view of the start of the embryo. The other 5 are showing no signs of growth, though; no veins or anything have formed. At first only 2...

    Mallard duck day 30 of incubation.

    Hi everyone! I am in need of immediate assistance. I rescued a mallard duck egg that she had kicked out of the nest and cracked. I put wax over the crack and started incubating it just in case he was still alive. Well, we are on day 30 and he’s moving, etc. I believe he may have pipped...

    Cracked egg sealed with wax... advice?

    So through a series of unfortunate events, one of my incubating quail eggs got pretty badly dented (bracubation, if you know you know), but the membrane wasn't broken. I sealed it with candle wax, but couldn't get the dent out without breaking the membrane. This happened day 5 and it's day six...

    How do I keep humidity up in inc while I sleep

    I’m currently incubating duck eggs in a NR 360. I try to keep my humidity between 50-55% before lockdown. I’m only on day two, but I do a good job of keeping the humidity stable during the day, but when I wake up it says the humidity is 39-40%! Will this effect my hatch rate? How to I keep the...

    Are these eggs dead? I think I see blood rings

    Hey everyone! Here I am with some late night questions! Are these eggs dead? I’m 100% sure at least one is. I’m going to tag some people that know about incubation. I edited some pics to get a better view of what I’m seeing. I can also get more pics of a specific egg if necessary. Yet again, not...

    Quail eggs in different stages of development

    I'm probably jumping the gun because it's only day four, but I have a pretty powerful egg candler and of my 16 coturnix eggs I can see clear vasculature in 3, darkening in 5 more, and then some eggs that are barely not glowing, but still not as far along. They're spread throughout the incubator...

    Hi! I'm currently incubating 12 Plymouth Rock eggs in a Hova-Bator (model 2362e) incubator. It's currently day 24 and there are no signs of hatching. These eggs have been shipped to me and arrived a couple of days later than expected. My temperatures have been pretty consistent throughout the...

    Hatching a quail egg in my bra

    So this is crazy, but I've seen on here that it can work, so here goes nothing. My incubator has been a little inconsistent the first day of having eggs in it. My infrared thermometer read egg temperatures ranging from 98 to 102.2 degrees F, and I have more eggs coming in a few days. So...
