EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Pensmaster]

I don't do anything, the hen does it all. Some people separate out. I've never found a need for that.

And I have another broody.
So it begins. No she won’t get the shipped eggs.

If I need to cull her and it looks like I may have to...What is the best way? Do I wait another 24 hours ?..she is on the sensor for humidity and part of her is stuck on it(the clear plastic part ) I also have another chick taking her time to come out of the shell.....

I am glad she ships well! and glad you wont give to a broody lol.

I like to hatch in clean egg cartons at lockdown with bottoms torn off to allow for air flow. Keeps the hatched chicks from being to rough on the other eggs still trying.

that image is intestines, cull her asap if that is whom you are speaking of. If you cant look at her and cut her head off with a scissors then roll a papertowel around her first find the neck cut through both and drop immediately into a plastic bag and dispose of. It all comes with incubating, I am sorry for this little one,

Don’t know this broody yet. Besides at the cost of these they are going to be by my bedside.

If it helps any and it was mine I’d cull it now.
