Day 6 candling

[BitsyDUCK]

My daughter is hatching eggs for a school project.... its day 6 but I think these eggs looks more developed then that..... does humidty play a role in faster devopelment?? Thoughts on what day these might be.....

D is for duck
C is for you guessed it chicken lol

At day 6 with a chicken (I haven't done ducks), you will see a small jelly bean in the center of a roadmap of veins.

They look right to me

I like to teach with hatching eggs as well. This is a great video that shows you the development of a chicken chick:

Your temperature might be a skootch high but everything looks good!

Looks all good, My only concern would be ducks taking longer, I suggest a 2nd incubator for the chicken egg due to bacteria.

Day 22 and the chicken egg had not hatched.... how long should I leave it.... I can't see movement no internal pipping... I can still see some of the viens.... how long she it be left in the incubator??

Give it another day.

Sometimes they are a little slow.

You could try the water candling method But want to make sure there is no cracks in the egg before doing that
There are lots of videos on YouTube on how
If not I would smell the egg as long as it doesn’t stink and you still see veins baby maybe so full you can’t see movement
Give it another 1-2 day’s

Water candling? The float test? No the egg doesn't smell....

Yes float test
I just watched a video last night and they called it water candling
I guess that stuck in my head lol
Good sign that it doesn’t stink
