Eggs not hatching Green yolks

[ronott1]

So turns out it was the walls stopping my eggs from hatching as I set 13 in my closet in my bator and already have 7 had 3 green eggs none hatched so I culled those birds as they must of been sick as not one egg ever hatched will never buy from that dump of a feed store again or wont ever keep ees again either

It is great that you figured it out!

Happy Hatching!

Make that 9/13 as one egg pipped wrong end and hit the plastic so 9/10 of my wyandottes hatched

The Easter Eggers were definitely a problem? That's often a problem in blue or green shells, they tend to be more porous than white or brown. If you try them again in future, I would definitely sanitize them before setting. Personally, I dip or spray with a 50/50 mixture of hot water and original gold Listerine, using water hot enough that the final product is quite warm so as not to shock the eggs into sucking in the bacteria.

I dip in 50/50 gold listerine ...I love Easter Eggers and have an excellent hatch rate from them ...I always wonder how my hens manage to hatch chicks so successfully..they walk mud and goodness knows what else on those shells and their chicks are perfectly fine serves us right for messing with Mother Nature!
I like a more colourful world Easter Eggers!

Why are you dipping them unless your birds had something...all chicken eggs are nasty in my opinion I will stick with white duck and goose eggs

It kills the bacteria on the shell, better hatch rates.

Citric acid is used in hatcheries and studies show that it increases hatch rates

Mine hatched fine with no dipping

Yes! Better hatch rate is what they found. Often you would not notice a difference in small hatches. The thousands at a hatchery you will notice easily
