Day 17!!

[Jaimes09]

Same story here. Wanted to hatch chicks, got cheap incubator for under $50 off ebay. Out of mine I had 3 out of 7 eggs hatch. 2 infertile, 1 died around day 10, 1 died around day 18.

Oh dang, how long can i keep the eggs in there? like if they don’t hatch by tomorrow? Because i had movement on all three the 18th

I keep them in for 22-23 days. So about 1-2 days after their due date.

Yours are probably fine, though if they don't hatch, you should do an eggtopsy. That way you can see what day they died. I have a pic on my phone of an eggtopsy if you want it.

How do you do that?, i seen one wiggle around this morning after the first one hatched but the 3rd one I haven’t really seen anything other than the pip

Once your certain they are not going to hatch, you take the egg and crack it open. If you don't like gross stuff, then just don't do it. After they have been in the incubator, the yolks are warm. Mine that died around day 18 was in position and even absorbed a little yolk, but never got through the air cell. If he pipped he at least made it to that day for sure.

Oh alright, hopefully I won’t have to but I’ll try it if it happens.

Did a little DIY feeder. Went to the store but didn’t have enough for either feeder or water so only got the electrolyte and feed. So just need the water thing to do!!
