Hatching Eggs In A Sock?

[FC16]

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.

I think you’re completely right unfortunately, will keep them in the rice sock a few more days with the hot water bottle just in case

I’ve accidentally dropped one of the eggs today when getting it out other one still going to be kept wrapped up for a few more days I think

No signs of veins or any signs of life. Even looks like it could be sort of cooked. I don't think that method is working any, I'm sorry!

what do you think the chances are of it working?

0%
Why not try to make a simple small cooler incubator?
You have a reasonable chance of success with one of them which would be more gratifying then rotting eggs in a sock under your bed.

that looks cooked to me too...onsen eggs maybe

it would be good to have atleast a temperature probe so you can adjust temperature. Those hand warmers get pretty hot.

The hot water idea has been used for a long time in asian countrysides. They lay their eggs on a warm water bed inside an insulated space.

My current “incubator” is pretty similar and also based on the concept, it’s a crockpot with water in it, and eggs floated above that via a plastic sheet.

Incubation isn’t rocket science (though it can be at times!). The basic premise is being able to maintain a certain temperature environment for fertile eggs. So as long as you can hit that temperature and keep it there, you can get pretty creative with incubation, but I would say a calibrated thermometer is essential, no matter what method you use!
