Egg hatch problem

[chook pen jen]

I would mark the live ones, and put them all back, when they hatch I then check the unhatched ones, thats why I think the floating thing works , you could just throw them out, but I like to give everything a chance.

I think they bob because there drowning don't you

No they bob because they are trying to hatch and pecking inside the egg, the water dosen't get through the shell, unless they have allready broken it, in whitch case you can see that and wouldent put it in the water, you can allso put an egg to your ear and listen to it but that takes a while if you have more than one or two.

I had chicks due the same day and none of mine hatched.

Glad you at least got one. I did the float test and they all floated like they are suppost to, but they had all died. I still don't understand it. I am going to try agian soon.
