    Is my chick stuck?

    Hi, brand new here but have been reading along and learning for the past few months. I’m on day 21 with my silkie bantams and one of mine has pipped at the wrong end and looks to be stuck. It’s been this way with no improvement for at least 8 hours, maybe more. Chick is peeping away and trying...

    Hi There, Looking for advice please. I had 6 cayuga duck eggs incubating and upon the process only 2 proceeded to develop. I had silkie chickens years ago but this is first time for ducks. The eggs were due to hatch 1-2 days ago but still nothing. Upon candling I can see movement as if the...

    Hen cracked egg. Need help!

    Our novice hen stepped on one of her eggs and made some cracks in it. There are a couple small holes where it looks like the membrane is punctured. We took the egg out of the nest figuring that the mother would just clumsily step on it more and destroy it totally. It’s currently in a plastic...

    Chick popped a blood vessel

    Hey in my last post I said one of my eggs was more developed and he really was. He’s hatching about a week before the rest. He popped open a hole, but I noticed he popped through a blood vessel and there was a little blood I put a moist paper towel around him, because I’m worried about him. Part...

    Developed chicken egg has air bubbles?

    One of the eggs that my hen is sitting on has mobile air bubbles? The egg is fairly far developed but i'm starting to worry :( As you turn the egg the bubbles follow along with you ... the normal air sac is perfectly where it should be as these air bubbles are actually inside the membrane.. Does...

    Cracked eggs during incubation

    i just noticed two of my eggs are cracked! I’ve read a lot of threads about possible ways to seal the eggs, but I’d like some opinions to see if it’s worth it. I think the membrane may have broken on the egg in the first picture. There seems to be some dried liquid along one of the hairline...

    Pipped through shell but not the membrane

    This is my first time hatching eggs I really don't want them to die, my hens are hatching the eggs and it is now day 21, I can't control the temperature or the humidity levels. I've got 2 eggs where the chicks broke about 60% of the egg shell but not the membrane, I'm afraid that it will dry...

    What Does This White Layer Mean?

    My girls just started laying eggs recently, when cracking one open this morning we noticed it had some white layer beneath the shell. What does this mean?

    Bloody egg

    Got this egg yesterday. Blood and what appears to be some sort of intestine or lining or membrane or something on it? Should I be concerned? There was also a broken egg in the box but I don't think it's related, I just haven't collected in a couple days. Also had 2 rubbery eggs, different days...

    Duckling Can't Hatch!

    I'll try to get up pictures soon. We have a duckling who externally pipped and then hasn't hatched for at least 24 hours, if not days. We decided it would be best to help it, so today we chipped a tiny bit of the shell off and left it for a while. When it didn't try to hatch anymore, we chipped...

    Hatch going wrong!! Humidity problems HELP!!

    We left some eggs in the incubator whilst we went on holiday with the plan to be home before they hatched. 2 days ago my chicken sitter told me the alarm was going off so I asked her and it turned out the water reservoir had run out (hot weather?) and humidity dropped to 40%. I told her how to...
