Fridge eggs

As long as you let it set at stored temp for about 24 hrs, & it's fertile, you should be fine.

So, the fridge egg chick is developing slower than the others. Almost looks like the "runt of the litter". Has anyone who has hatched fridge eggs before noticed anything similar?

I got six out of my 12 eggs but I discarded the fridge eggs early on as well as two which werent fertile. My original fridge duck is doing well (from a hatch at beginning of April), she started a little smalled than the other but tbh I just thought the other was a boy. They are both the same size now and both female.

They are the two at the front of the picture.

My little fridge chick is a boy. The thing I live about dark brahmas is that you can tell at an early age if they're cockerels or pullets. Everyone else is all feathered in, & this little guy is only about 2/3 the size & 2/3 feathered in. I kind of want to turn the heat lamp off ..... but don't dare to until he has more feathers. It's a very interesting learning experience, but I don't think I'd dobit again.

Hatching itself is awesome ..... but I think I'll leave the fridge eggs in the fridge next time.
