Hi all,
Due to certain circumstances, I'm helping out a friend with his petting zoo (he's unable to take care of the animals right now). I am enjoying it very much and using it as a learning opportunity!
Of course the chickens and ducks decided that now would be the best time to start laying eggs.
As of now I have placed 7 duck eggs and 3 chicken eggs in the incubator (37C Humidity 60%). Some have been in for 2 days and the others for a 1 day.
I have a few questions:
Only now I've found out that the eggs must be clean before placing it in the incubator. Is it too late to take a wet cloth to wipe them down?
This is one of the chicken eggs that I candled tonight (2 days). Should I be able to see veins already? Is it considered a porous egg?
I'd appreciate any help and suggestions!
