Hello world

[Debbie292d]

Yes, so I ordered 7 fertile eggs online. Two I had from my pack of hens. So I just got my for sure good ones in my incubator. The two I put in on the 28th seem to be no good. No foul smells though ? I heard they stink if not growing.

In over 500 silkie eggs I hatched this year, I've had them die in all stages of life and not one ever stunk. I incubated duck eggs last year for a neighbor and one of them went bad. It stunk up the whole house!

I see veins and the black dot on all of my others so exciting

On Day 19, you shouldn't see veins and a black dot. The egg is nearly full of chick by that point.

Veins and a black dot are usually Day 5-7. Have you verified your incubator temp as maybe it's a bit low.

The ones I'm referring to are from my new batch on day 5
