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

[mikkles]

I've always hatches shippedeggs but getting some fresh one's today. How to I incubate fresh eggs?

. Do they need to sit out for a day or two and be turned before going in bator?

I think only if you intend to gather for a few days. Otherwise I think you can put them right in the bator..at least that's what I've done in the past.

Thanks I live in FL but happen to be doing a round trip to Atlanta today and buying some hatching eggs there instead of getting them shipped.

Quote: Those 2 were dead when I took the pic, sadly. They are gorgeous, aren't they? They had the most amazing yellow patterns. I'm going to ask the gardener in future to call us before killing them, so we can catch and relocate them rather.

Are they not moving? Have you opened the shell to investigate? Take a damp Q-tip and wipe the inner membrane and see if the chicks respond. If they do, check what the inner membrane looks like. Are there any visible blood vessels?

Yep

yep investigate with a hole up top at the fat end. Wetting that inner membrane will turn it from milky colored to clear to see if there are veins. If there are veins, leave them alone except to clear around beak a little. Being careful not to hit any veins. Then report back
