Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[cochins1088]

I candled my eggs (like I do every night) and I noticed that one of the embryos had passed away. Normally I'd leave it until day 7 to be sure, but this egg was too suspicious to be left alone.

I opened it up and I was met with bubbles. Lots of fowl smelling bubbles. I've never seen anything like it before. I looked at the embryo and it must have died sometime this morning. I dumped the rest of the sticky contents and there it was. I looked into the shell and it had those moldly/fungus growths like the goose egg had and it's on the opposite end of the incubator! I really hope it's not spreading. I can't afford to lose those goose eggs...

Any advice?

My phone isn't letting me post pics. Number one could have pipped last night, but I saw it around one this afternoon. I just saw breathing, so it is still alive. Number two had a pinhole at eleven tonight, is almost done zipping ... IS HERE! !!
Third egg is just beginning.

OOOOOOOOO. I looked at my calendar. The buff eggs are set to hatch Saturday. These are Blue Laced Red and Gold Laced wyandottes and buff/blrwyandottes that are hatching. Looks like its going to be a good hatch.
