Hatching Eggs In A Sock?

[FC16]

The hand warmers have now gone cold so I have put a hot water bottle there, wondering if filling it up every 6 hours or so would help

you are going to fill a water bottle every 6 hours with exactly the same temp water for 21 days!? Why bother? Very unlikely to work, very time consuming.

Very unlikely indeed, just an experiment with some leftover eggs

Do you have a heat pad? (For small pets), I did use one of those once with success with a
Plastic container on top . However the eggs had started developing and the hen stopped being broody. It was an emergency intervention . It worked too.

x2, if you had one without an auto shut off, it'd work.

I’ve placed an egg in a sock and filled it with rice,

I believe the rice will absorb all your humidity and fluid from your eggs don't think rice , hand warmers or water bottles is going to work at all but good luck and hope you have fun.

Both eggs on day 3, don’t think this is going to work.could Anyone that’s knowledged on this tell me if this is a good sign or not ?

Those look REALLY porous. I'd not get my hopes up.

It usually takes 4-5 days to see veins. But I also do not see any sort of formation of an air sac.

No signs of an air sack, unfortunately I don't think this will work. There are other methods of incubation that are more likely to be successful, even as an experiment, such as putting them under a chick heat plate at the exact temperature you need as well as a bowl of hot water in the container you keep them in. I've seen people hatch like this before. YouTube may be able to help with your experimental needs lol.
