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

[BullChick]

Hi all, can anyone advise me what to do on a couple of things - I've not hatched anything in 14 years and things seemed more simple then lol. I have two that have hatched one 18 hours ago and the other 11 hours ago. Both are still in the incubator - I have 5 pipped eggs - should I move the chicks to the brooder? Also one of my eggs has pipped on the underside of the egg and two have pipped at the pointy end - do i need to intervene or just let nature take its course? Hope someone can help

Fancy seeing you here!

Helping my buddy set up his boat for the season we are hitting the big lake next week.

Now that's a serious fishing boat, but I wouldn't want anything less on big water.

Question:

Do I fall under the catagory of "Canada Chicks"?

lol, every cup is for and individual person, you earn a cup eventually and sometimes people take a long time to figure out what cup they get

One of my "question marked" eggs has a dark spot there that I did not see in the morning of day 21, but it was there in the afternoon of day 21

one of my 2 brown (cholate) eggs got 1 white mark on it, it looks like sothing was pushing from the inside, and caused somof it of coem off, but it's got another one now, and what's werid is, they are both not in the air cell area!


I am getting worried an dhave no clue what do do, CAN SOMEONE TEEL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO (even if it's to just keep waiting)

Leave them in the Bator, opening will suck out moisture and could shrink wrap the unhatched eggs, so it depends on which eggs are the most important and who you want to save

Nope lemmie get some pictures...

brown egg that had the 2 wihte marks on it, sorry I could not get a very good veiw on them

all the eggs in the incubator ( Unsure eggs are at the back)

closeup on the question marked eggs

closeup on the other brown egg

:/ Me very happy to have help all the time

FYI I have a leuttce garnen in the back, so that's why there is leuttce there

so "leuttce" get is solved

I can't see any of those

I'm on day 18 here and have a quick question that is melting my brain. I'm using a Brinsea Maxi II and the paperwork it comes with says that the default settings for chicken eggs have it stopping turning 2 days before hatch. To me, that seems like a lockdown at day 19. We had a power failure last hatch and the settings had gotten messed up, so I ended up manually configuring it for the hatch. 

In y'all's opinion, should I stop the turn since it's legitimately day 18 here as of one hour ago, or let the Brinsea settings ride? 

up to you, sorry

lol I try I prefer locking down early but I have a homemade Bator and hand turn
Though I did get a brinsea mini but it's at my daughters daycare so

They are all super important- they are my babies

. I've taken them out real quick and added a warm wet sponge to the bator. Fingers crossed for the next 8 eggs!

The main problem is that I don't think it's counting correctly. I am supposed to enter day 21 on Wednesday and it's telling me on a Sunday that there are 5 days left in the hatch. So, to my mind, if it stops turning with 2 days to go based on its counter, lockdown won't start until late Tuesday? I emailed Brinsea just because I don't think this darn thing is keeping time correctly. As OCD as I am about days and records, I just can't see how this is right.

It's day 18 dang it. I went ahead and candled and locked them in. Now it's up to them.
