I have this bantam egg approaching day 24 tomorrow morning. This egg was showing movement this morning, but has been moving less throughout the day and isn’t moving very much at all anymore. I have 5 other eggs in the incubator and from day 22 they’ve all moved then quit later on. I don’t hear...

Hello! First time Hatcher here. I have three very healthy and very active Pekín duck eggs that are on day 24 of incubation.
I had my first internal pip about 24 hours ago. The air cell was large - about 1/3 of the egg. After waiting 24 hours and no external pip, I performed a quick candling to...
one of my ten ducklings has pipped- I did not stop turning or ramp humidity at all because I thought I had three to four days to go and was planning on doing this step tomorrow. I just ramped my humidity and will add safety air hole at noon tomorrow if I don’t see an external pip from first...
Hello everyone!! A week back I had a chicken who was sitting on a mixed batch of eggs...I’m pretty sure when she got off her eggs to eat and drink water, other chickens came and laid more eggs in her already developing batch.
So when it came to hatching time, only three of hers hatched and the...
It’s day 22, my eggs are a bit delayed because of temperature fluctuations, but this morning (UK 9 am) I had two eggs cheeping, one has externally pipped, but the other one has gone quiet, with no external pip or movement, (5:30 pm). Should I intervene? I really need replies on this ASAP
Hi All,
I have three wiggling little ducklings that refuse to pip internally. I candled them and all are alive but im on day 32! I cant tell if they are in the wrong position or what's going on....any help? Do I poke a hole in air cell to look or leave alone?
Hello,
This is the first year that our momma Goose has fertile eggs. We are now day 31 and still no goslings hatched. On day 29 I saw a little one moving in the egg while candling and it looked like it internal pipped. But still nothing to see. On day 26 we found a dead gosling in the nest and...
3 of my eggs have internal pipped yesteray at this time. they are chirping sometimes but there is NO external pip. its been 24 hours and im worried now.

Hi all :) I'm in the midst of hatching serama, started with 24 eggs and 9 have made it to today, so I'm really hoping to end up with at least 5 lol... they were shipped, which was mostly the cause of loss. But anyways, I have one with a very bad saddle air sac, 8hours ago I candled her and she...
I put 3 khaki kampbell/mallard eggs on lockdown a few days ago but I need advice in wherever or not to intervene. (This is not my first time hatching ducklings but my first time with this particular problem). I live in South Georgia so the humidity has been ridiculously high this summer so in...
Hi guys, Last night I went outside and discovered that one of my ducks, who has been sitting, had left her nest, for at least a few hrs, and the egg in it which is due either sat or sun this week, was freezing cold. I held the egg near my skin and it was icy cold (it was close to 0deg Celsius...
So I use a dry method in my incubator for the first 18 days and did that as usual. This time I have different breeds with some large eggs like EE's and Austrolorps and small eggs like Ayam Cemani. All the big eggs have nice big air cells but the small eggs seem to have REALLY small air cells...
So this is my first time hatching eggs and I thought I understood what lockdown meant but now I am really confused and it's kinda important because I am in lockdown! So I am seeing all these posts about internal pips and candling air sacks and it's all after day 18. Soooo I thought lockdown...
Yesterday was Day 21 for my viable cochin eggs. I just candled and one appears to be trying to pip internally in the correct position, but I am TERRIFIED because the other chick is almost certainly malpositioned! Candling shows MOVEMENT at the SMALL END! Membranes are intact, but when this guy...
Incubating duck eggs. And a few days ago I was advised to run dry till first external pip. My hair cells were very small. But now were on day 29 for welsh harlequin eggs and they haven't internal piped. I can tell they are trying. I could see it for the last 24 hr. So continue running dry or no...
Would love some info please - we had nine eggs in the incubator that were shipped over and only one has would up being viable. It is day 21 today and yesterday we were positive the chick had pipped internally, and today still no external pip so I've made a hole in the egg where I was positive...
