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

And if you wanna put it under a heat lamp that could work. It has to be around the right temperature so you'll need to be able to measure that.

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

Yeah, I made the mistake of giving a rotten one to a family member the other day. I don’t know how it happened since they were all fresh collected but I won’t want that to happen again. Same with any developing one which I don’t really need to worry about thanks to the fact I don’t have a rooster.

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.

Well yah, she was trying to be broody... so yes, I removed all eggs to be safe.

I really don't think that you heard chirping from that egg. It doesn't appear to be internally pipped, the air cell is kinda small for a full term chick, and it hasn't drawn down at all.

But you can't hurt it if you put it under a lamp at around 99 degrees Fahrenheit. See what happens...

Sorry, but this made me laugh. Ony because i have a funny story behind the laugh. Last year for some holiday dinner or bbq (i cant remember which), my mother in law and I were boiling a bunch of eggs for deviled eggs. All of a sudden, we heard lots of chirping. Like baby chick chirping. IT WAS COMING FROM THE BOILING EGGS!! I mean it was very distinct chirping too, and no denying it was coming from the eggs. I quickly scooped one out to investigate. No chick in it. We sit and listened to the rest and while at eye level, i noticed the chirping sound was coming from tiny bubbles comeing either out of the eggs or from underneath the eggs. I sat and watched and the chirping slowed & eventually stopped. Sure enough, when we checked them all when they were done, there were no chicks. The "chirping" was only escaping air...
