Wow, Sorry - I hate asking all these questions. I used an egg carton, cut holes in the bottom of each cup. But these are TINY silkie eggs. It's trying to hatch - if it was out on the ground, I think it would have popped the shell open, but since she's in the carton, it's like a barrier. Do I take the egg out of the carton? Should I have cut more off of the carton?

Thanks!
The eggs should be on their sides for hatching. If it tries to zip where there carton is touching the shell, it'll never get through.

Edit: It obviously found a way around the carton, so congratulations!!!

I have a friend that is looking for a home for a speckled Sussex Easter Egger rooster. Ventura county, California. Just under a year. Any takers? If I could keep rooster, I'd consider it, but I am desperately trying to keep my silkie roo quiet.....

:gig. Good luck keeping you silkie quiet!
Mine is the smallest Roo on the property, but definitely the loudest! :gig
 
What are your thoughts on this egg?
I dont see anything but a haze, take a pic from the air cell down, or are you asking about air cell size?
I do think the air cell is too small for 15 days, but I am asking about all of the above. They look like they have stopped growing from one direction, but okay from another. Air cell down is too hard for me to take a picture of. Up is all black. Here's a better picture.

I am not sure what I am looking at, looks like a cloud in there without any prominent veining or embryos visible in the images.

These are the chickens. I never saw veining, but assume it's because they are green. I think I see movement tonight, but that could be my imagination.
Why are BCM a cinch for me to hatch, but EE are impossible?!

I have no clue! are you drying out the EE's too much, what happens with them?

That makes sense green eggs and cant see through... remember those are not only coated in color like a marans they are a blue colored egg inside and very hard to see in. if you see movement they are fine, if they dont stink let them in and the air cells look like they should have live chicks in them, see the lowest dip in them? not sure if that means much, but I like to think it means they were alive recently anyways!
