Help with Brinesea Incubator

Thank you for all of your help..

no.... since the first batch died because I had to much water in there I have been afraid to put much of anything in the tray..   I put a cap full of water in one side of the water holder every other day..  I am afraid to over do it and have the same thing happen again...  :/



I just checked the eggs and one has some brown sappy stuff on it.. not a lot just a little does that mean something is wrong?     sorry to attack you with so many questions..  I am just worried about the babies..  

Is the egg leaking/oozing? Is the shell cracked at all?

No probs with all questions, that why we are all here

the egg is not cracked in any way that I can see... it is almost like it has drops of sap on the small end of the egg... it is kinda funny.

Can you post a pic? Sometimes they can leak and you don't want a rotten egg exploding in the incubator

Does the incubator smell ok? Need to find out if this is a bad egg.

I think you are right I candled it again and there is something inside but it is just turning around inside as I move the egg...

Can you not see a chick moving? At day 14 it should be pretty much full of chick. When did this oozing start?

 

[Necklace]

just today.. it was not there yesterday.... the eggs have 14 days left till hatch


and the only movement I could see was as I turned the egg.. it moved with me like it was floating..

 

[Yorkshire Coop]

Oh crumbs I thought you were on day 14 not 14 days to hatch
When I read "days 14" in your first post I thought it meant you were 14 days in to incubation but I bet that's the count down on the advance mini!!

Does it look different to your other eggs? Can you see development in your others? If that were my egg I would be removing it from the incubator with it oozing like that.

ah.. yes .. sorry for the confusion.. I was going off of the countdown days on the machine... and yes all the other eggs are kicking around like crazy.. my kids like watching them.. they already named a few which is probably not the best idea since I don't have a good hatch rate yet... :/

and yes it does look like it might be gone.. I am going to remove it from the incubator.. poor baby..

 

[Yorkshire Coop]

From what you have described compared to your other eggs I would say that it maybe never even stared developing If you could see something that was moving around as you candled that was more than likely the yolk. With the oozing too that was not a good sign so it is best that you have removed it.

Good luck and keep us posted
