Hello! Please can I have advice for an expecting duck mum 😆 I feel stressed and worried about my eggs. Brought 6 Call duck eggs from eBay. All looked good when candling.
Around day 7 one died it had the ring of death.
Around day 18 another one appeared to of died too, the egg was mostly yellow...
I have 7 eggs. 3 hatched today— day 21. But the other 4 just stopped. No pips, peeps, movement, nothing since approximately 12-1pm. It’s 4:22pm now EST. Hatching with a broody. What could possibly be happening? Did they die??? What do I do? First time btw. Thanks in advance!
Good morning everyone.
We have 5 eggs that made it to today -day 21
We have nothing, no rocking, no pip, no chirp. We had an incident on day 17 where my little girl accidentally unplugged the incubator but we realised pretty quickly (I’d say 20-30mins) and the egg were not cold to the touch. We...
Hi all, I currently have a single mandarin duck egg incubating, we're now on day 31 of a supposed 28 day hatch cycle. I've candled the egg this morning and there is still movement inside, a mass has been protruding into the air sac cavity for the past 2 days, but not a single attempt at pipping...
Day 22 and woke up to egg with linear crack along the side. No foul smells. Is it going to explode? I tried candling it and could see because it’s such a dark shell. What is happening? 3 chicks have hatched. I put it in an unsealed bag just in case.
Hi all, I’m new to chicken keeping and have a silkie hen go broody recently, so I bought 6 eggs (postal) and let her sit.
Today is day 22 and no pipping, should I candle? I candled on day 18 and 4 seemed to be developing, the other 2 eggs were removed. Could these four still hatch?
My eggs chirped a couple days ago and now nothing. No movement in the eggs, no pipping and its day 25. Temp has been 99.5, humidity at 68-70%, chicken eggs, no turner in bottom. We turned eggs several times a day until day 18. Will the water test kill them if they are still alive?
What do we...
Hey everyone we are at Day 22 of 6 eggs in the incubator. I candled them about 6-7 days in and saw development in all but one (because I couldn’t see through the dark, hard shell). Well here we are at day 22 and there is no pipping or anything going on. Temp and humidity are where they should be...
My 4 pilgrim goose eggs air sacs "dipped down" on Monday (3 days ago) and yesterday I noticed the shadowing around the lower edge of the air sac (when it's facing the correct way up). It looks like something pressing up against the air sac membrane trying to break it in little fluttery irregular...
My eggs have not pipped yet and it is day 24. I am getting worried because they are barely moving but when I candle them they look ready to pop but there is no movement! What can I do to help?
My Pekin has been "laying" with our Mallard duck resulting in a bunch of eggs so I figured I would try incubating them and see what happens. 3 out of 5 are doing great but were on day 30 now and no pipping. I just float tested and candled the other 2 in question, one is bad the other however I...
