17th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[Debbie292d]

I set 15 chicken eggs at that date and didn't even realize there was a contest! Can I enter?

You're in!

Interesting! lol
All of my eggs develop really well, but I keep losing some between day 14, and lockdown…
So, I don’t know what that’s about

It could be...

• The nutrition the parents of the eggs get, or lack thereof.
• The incubator temperature isn't stable at 99.5F
• The humidity is too high or too low.

Candled last night and only had 2 clears! 3 we weren't 100% certain we saw veins but pretty sure. And one particularly round egg that we put in the turner upside down (air cell down).

Ok, thanks! I will definitely consider those.
I don’t think it’s a nutritional… my flock is free ranged, and lay eggs with VERY dark yolks and hard shells.
But it could fs be temp. So I will monitor that!

Will that one be ok still?

I don't know, guess we'll find out in 13-16 days. It was developing right on track with the others though, so I put it back in right side up. If anyone else has any experience I'd love to hear how it went for them.
