2021 Jacin Hatchalong #1

It won't be a humidity issue as that can swing from one extreme to the other without affecting the eggs as its the average humidity over the course of incubation that matters.

It can be caused by temperature extremes when the eggs are stored prior to incubation. Or the temperature fluctuating at a critical stage in the development of the embryo.

Is it one particular breed that it seems to be happening to or was it that particular spot in the incubator?

Are you 100% sure they are blood rings? I only ask because eggs have tricked me before, looking like blood rings but it's just been the beginning of the veins forming.

The veins have disappeared and condensed into rings in the ones we've noticed while the others are thick and lush with veins.

For a while it was one section, but we found three today in other parts that had been healthy yesterday and now have hardly any veins beside a thick circle around the diameter

I'm sorry - it's frustrating when they seem to be doing so well but then they die on you.

Best of luck with the rest! Everyone and their fancy eggs and new spring hatchery and tsc chicks almost makes me want to hop the border and move south just for the same access to all the fancy breeds!

Yeah. At least these ones aren't the ones I bought. I can always get more of them so far, I'm just hoping that it doesn't spread the expensive ones. I have several that are doing so wonderful it will be heartbreaking if they suddenly stop

We've got a heart!

Kinda hard to see the picture, I'll get a better one tonight. It's one of the barn mixes (hoping the mom is a spitzhauben hen, but coild be the bronze and black one. Dad is probaly the black one bit could be the silver or Pheonix too

Is your flock just bantams?

Is your flock just bantams?

Nope, bantams and standards. Out of my flock I only have 2 eggs in there that might be from bantams (quite possibly also pullet eggs) plus the post h. egg and seramas which are also small. The rest are all standard or standard moms with a possible standardxbantam dad depending on if he decided to breed or ignore his sons breeding with them

In the picture the only bantams are the Japanese gals.

About 1/3 out of 53 eggs are either empty or show bloodrings. A couple mosaics too this time, which stinks because I only got 8.

Are all of the eggs purchased or your own flock?

21 are from a gal in billings, and 32 are from my flock.

Are the billings eggs the ones that seem empty or with bloodrings?
