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

[daxigait]

So

I'm sorry, I think I missed previous posts... What's the situation? You don't know when they were set? I'd wait. Worst thing that happens is you have to hand raise the chicks.

That would be a big problem with my upcoming trip to Florida.

I missed what day she started. I only have a three day window. The first time I thought she was just laying an egg, and I skipped collecting one day that weekend so I am not sure at all

I have looked at your pictures but I have never done this and I just had my flashlight from my head light. All I can tell what's the difference between the dark three-quarters of the egg and the top Air cell. My question is is it ready to hatch her or are they dead, and I don't know the difference. I don't know when to put these chicks under her I don't want to kill those eggs that are there but I don't want to wait too long and she abandons the nest either.

Oh. :/

Wait as long as you can, then...

Identifying Lockdown Deaths
Here, Dax.

I can't see in well enough. All I could see was a clear light aircell and a full dark area in the rest.

It is fully dark. I can go try to get a picture. I am afraid of killing it. I am not sure I put them back right last time. Right side upside???

That'd be helpful. Naw, you won't kill it. Lowest dip in the air cell should be up but momma will take care of it so don't worry.

They sound ready to pip to me...

Generally once the veins are all gone they're rocking and peeping, at least the times I've candled in lockdown, but might just be dim light or something.

No matter one is definitely clear one might be viable the other I think is dead in Shell. I am just going to take the chicks out to her I'm not going to lose the five of them in the hopes of one egg if she stays with it fine.
