Egg question

[Genisis]

can a chicken egg be fertilized after its been laid? I seen people do this with a duck egg on YouTube, but can it be done? If so, how?

Not sure about the people on YouTube but eggs are already fertilized before they are completely formed. They are fertilized 24 hours before actually being laid. So after they are laid they can't be fertilized.

Can you link the video about the duck egg? I don't see how that's possible.

I did not see anything to do with fertilizing a duck egg in either of those. In the second I don't now what he was doing with that hypodermic but it was not fertilizing the chicken egg. Are you sure those are the videos you meant to link.

You mean hatching an egg after it has been opened? I've heard that people have done that but have never tried anything like that myself. I don't trust a lot of what I see on U-tube either. My guess is that if someone had the right knowledge and equipment they could hatch an egg like that.

But there will be some details that you would need to know, it will not be a standard incubation. How do you turn that egg? What is he doing with that hypodermic? Is he adding liquid? Then what liquid and how much? The chick would not have to pip and zip but how do you manage that phase?

No. That duck egg wasn't either

 

[nuthatched]

Nope

Thank you so much for your patience and indulging my question.

@Genisis I'd also like to see that, do you have a link.

In the normal scheme of things that can't happen. But when you can do gene splicing who knows what can be accomplished. I'd like to see that in context.

Thanks
