Here to watch this is so interesting. For now i am glad i can breed chickens cause then i can have my own chicken flock and not depend too much on outside sources for new stock

I'm going to put the calcium between the plastic wrap and the egg insides. I'm going to try a few different ways including dropping some in.

Ya they just sat it in a tall cup and opened it up and dropped it in and closed it again. If u bailey put it in cup and open the plastic wrap it holds in spot so u can add calcium. I just dont know how much and how often. I think it was twice daily but Google to be sure.??can't wait for pics of this if you post any.

The bird I seen them do tho wasn't a chicken it was a regular bird that you have to feed with a dropper like you would with a baby cocktail. And those are born way different than a chicken egg.!!

So cool! Following! I was going to try this last summer, I decided instead of using calcium powder which was unavailable I used half an egg shell. It provides air and calcium. You just crack the egg in. Then you don't have to mess around with oxygen under the cup and you can still watch the chick grow. Just my 2 cents. This will be fun to watch! Good luck!

So crack the egg open and leave the egg contents inside like on the bottom half?

Well, you crack an infertile or non hatching egg, use the bottom half of that egg, and crack the fertile egg into it. That's what I was going to do. I had all these plans drawn up and I never got around to trying it last summer because we got really busy. Maybe I'll try it this summer. This will be great reference for when I get some good experiment eggs. I don't know how to do it in my incubator though, I can't fit a cup in there. It's the MagicFly 12 incubator

So I have 4 eggs total but this one came out the best. They probably will do nothing but I want to see what happens. These are my own eggs that I know are fertile. This is a RSL jersey giant cross egg.

As someone suggested I put it in half an egg shell so it could get enough calcium.

I also did a duck egg.
