Wow your pics are super! and have been a huge help! thank you very much i'm slowly learning a bit more each time i have a go at hatching my isa red girls eggs with the daddy been a bantam cross rhodesian red...never know what we are going to get!! our recent hatchlings came out a real mix with the first 2 being tiny little yellow fluffs and then the next few could have passed as emu chicks!!

If I'm hatching 100 eggs how do I candle them without loosing core temp? seems like opening the incubator for long enough to candle 100 eggs would drop my egg temps. would I candle like 20 a day? and break the candling time up? thanks for any answers.

Thank you for this! I am on day 15 and am glad to know what I see is normal! Your pictures are great, and I have a video of the chick inside moving as well!

hi there, its my first experience with bantams nesting. it's already day 22 and nothing has happened. I count day 1 on march 5, and yesterday day 21. I candled them yesterday and I see the airsacs, at the top, but the rest is all black and I don't see any movement in the black part...even when I twist and turn the egg. what's going on? should I pull the eggs from the hens? they've been working so hard to hatch them, and nothing's happening. please advise! thank you. they are Malaysian serrama chickens.

I am new to this thread but have hatched hundreds & hundreds of chicks. I would not pull them yet. I have had eggs go days over due & be just fine.
Are these with broody hens?
I don't usually candle but just bought an Ova scope high intensity candler & gave it a try yesterday. What fun.........
