Bra incubating

[Chicken015]

I never would have thought of trying to incubate an egg in a bra. If these posts happen fairly oftenish, how often are they successful? Personally I'm so clumsy I would be immediately doomed at that project.

I'm not too sure! I use this forum pretty infrequently, so I don't see it too often. I can't imagine the rate being super high though, it's been a struggle to keep it safe lol.

Over the years there have been a few threads on this. A few are successful, many are not. I have not kept score so I don't have a percentage of success but I suspect fairly low. But some people are up to the challenge to at least try. If you don't try it will never work.

Day 19

Egg 1, I'm not sure if anything is even inside tbh.

Egg 2, it's still moving, though not pipping yet. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

I wouldn't lose hope yet at 19, could just be slower because of temperature if it's still moving

Day 19.5

Egg 2 isn't moving anymore. I'm contemplating carefully cracking it. I don't see any veins anymore either, but there is no pipping

UPDATE: I did the float test. Both egg 1 and 2 seem to be moving! I can say with confidence, egg 2 is definitely still alive!
