Up and milking!! Gotta be done.

@Sally Sunshine This is the egg that had the big air cell. I was trembling when I opened it. On day 19, I quickly candled it before entering the lockdown. Movement detected. Day 22, egg #1 hatched. Today is day 24 and I candled it one last time, no movement. So I braved myself and cracked open.
I wonder what happened. It looked like the butt part is not fully formed? Please educate me. I am a novice.





And below is a Polish egg died on day 10.


Please educate me so I can learn and understand.
Thank you!

@evitachu Good morning! Top pic position is correct.... see below. it would help to have seen the sizes of air cells marked on the shell so I could perhaps estimate weight loss for the egg, without that I am taking my best guess at all that yellow gunk that you ran too high humidity and or lowered it too late in the process, combined with possible low temps. Had you calibrated thermometers and used at least two? Even if you ran below 99.5 just a bit it can cause hatch issues.

EXAMPLES of good air cells,

Thanks joey for the images @Ur-ur-ur-urrr

So it may be worth a shot for you, and I am not clear on your temps or calibration, Hammond found that a bit higher incubation temps increase chick initial body weight believe it or not, at the higher temp 99.9 the higher the rate of egg water loss in the first 16 days of incubation. What I have found is when I incubate at a slightly elevated temp 100 to 100.5 calibrated I have much cleaner hatches. They found that its the opposite with low temps, body weight of chicks were less. Then you get into the additional factors of adding low high temps with humidity and ventilation.... Best we can do is work these areas to achieve absolute and relative weights. IN KNOWING THAT and then factor in that EACH EGG & breeds are different in age, air cell size, genetics etc.

What Went Wrong During Incubation

Why break out and analyse hatch debris?

Looked in, more eggs appeared. In all the wrong spots to boot. She couldn't have made them more noticeable.

ha ha ha!!! Good luck with them! what of those 5 white leghorn shipped air cells did they correct? @Mirajane

I don't know what I did, but, I fixed the turner! We're back in the game! I certainly hope I didn't screw things up with handling eggs and the temperature loss... Good morning, @Sally Sunshine ... Thought I'd line myself up early on your Sunday morning docket.

they can take a cooling shellee! your good, glad its fixed!!

I just caught the last 2 legbar pullets to be picked up in a couple of hours.

Good morning everyone.
Woke up to this this morning!

3 OE's out in the hatcher , one OE, bottom right, mal posed but still trying to zip, and the other 2 OE's pretty quiet.
The rest of the eggs are test batch from a new Roo, due later this week. Bunch of barnyard mix, just for the heck of it.

So I know most of you have probably been waiting on pins and needles wanting to know about my internal pip from yesterday so I woke up early just to check for you and....
