ALMOST BOILING A CHICK IN EGG!! NEED HELP RAISING!

[CHlCKEN]

Have you ever had a broody with almost ready to hatch eggs and not known about it when said broody was in a spot where you normally gather eggs? Or, if you found a hidden nest, would you collect the eggs and give them to someone without knowing how old they were?

I’ve never had a real broody anyway. However I can imagine anyone who was careless enough could make this mistake, it’s completely possible

I was away (busy) for a few days this week and I cracked all 20 eggs to feed back to the birds, and yes, some had began development. I know exactly what you're saying.

Is there a shadow in the air cell? Or a full circle/oval of clear space at the fat end of the egg?

yes

 

[Ruby Rogue]

yes

That's 2 different questions. Shadow? Or clear circle?

I’ve cracked open a developing egg before, not far along but it happens.

When you sell eggs or give them to friends, you wanna make sure this is never gonna happen to them.

Can you get someone to help you take pics in a dark room so we can see that you see in the egg? The ones you post should show a few different angles.

So you had a broody sitting on eggs while you were away.... that’s different. If you read the OPs original post he says the eggs were given to him from a farm.
