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

[Sally Sunshine]

Hey everyone...my name is Kelly...from Canterbury NH, we are getting our incubator ready tonight and running it for 12 hours first. I am going to post videos on youtube of the progress, if anyone wants to check them out if your bored. This is my channel

Just curious where the air sacks should be in a normal healthy egg if it matters before incubation? I can see a circle in the fat end of the egg. Is this ok?

OMG Kelly your videos are priceless!!! this is my fav!!!

I think I felt less pressure when I was pregnant than I do hatching eggs. Maybe because my little people are counting on me to get it right so they can have chicks to love.

Hatching's far more fun that being pregnant. Maybe that's why I wan't to hatch eggs all the time?

It's easier on the body, that's for sure. It only affects the blood pressure!

That video is priceless! Love it! I wish I could get my chickens to do things like that.

And Sally: like the new avatar!

My last egg has pipped the wrong end. It is trying to hatch out of the small end of the egg. It has pipped all the way thru and sticks its beak out. Worried it wont be able to move to zip.

Keep an eye on it (I think you will anyway!) and if it doesn't make progress help it a bit. There's a how-to here:

If intervention is necessary as a last resort

Good luck!

Thanks I was just reading that. Thankfully it is the last to hatch so no one else will be in jeopardy if I open the bator to get a good look.

You had a very good hatch so far. Hope this one's going to be O.K. also

Keep us posted and we want pics when they are ready!

going to help. I took off a little piece of shell and the membrane is white and dry. No veining. I don't know how long it has been pipped since I was not looking at the little ends. Which way do they go to zip. clockwise or counter?
