To see if marker pens kill embryos?

Yes, and to see if any of the black leaches through. -Kathy

Kathy I think if the marker is Alcohol based paint it will evaporate from the shell in the bator, but if the Marker is water based paint with the humidity of the bator it can penetrate the shell. I whould put anoter test to see if there is a diferent betwee this 2 brands.

I think my hona pullet is broody. She was making broody noises when I went out today. I saw she had four eggs (didn't realize I was so far behind in collecting) but I left them because my hands weren't clean. I went back after dark and snapped this pic, pulled the eggs, then candled. No veins, but definitely darker yolks on three of them. So I added them to the bator. If she seems persistent, I might give them back out of curiosity.

OK, so I went and stared at the pip. Should I be worried if the membrane isn't broken? (It's just the shell broken, a piece or two fell off, but membrane white and intact).

(End of day 21, humidity 70%, no other pips so far.)

Edit: I'm not sure what I would do at this point anyway, I guess I'm just curious. But I'm starting to fade again. I promise to read any answers in the morning...

Patience!

Good morning everyone!!!!

Look what I found in my incubator this morning - the world's newest little Aloha Naked Neck:



Another one (the one with the original pip) is zipping.

Oh goodness, I have so many people to thank (gets out folded piece of paper and hopes she doesn't get cut off by the orchestra)...

In all seriousness:

First and foremost, @Sally Sunshine for her excellent shipped egg information, such that I'm getting live birds hatching from this mess:





@LocalYokel for patiently helping me figure out the direction I should turn the saddled air cells (with pictures!!!)

@Ur-ur-ur-urrr for helping me stop the too-fast growth of their air cells (along with Sally, of course), and also confirming that the increased humidity was doing its job and to leave it at 50% until hatch

@gotro17 for not only giving me so much hope for my shipped eggs with crazy air cells, but also pointing out that when hatching upright, it's good to alternate spaces in the carton to give the babies a place to "flop" out into (which I totally would not have thought of). This baby is happily moving from empty cup to empty cup. I set them up like this based on your photo/info:




Everyone who has posted info about successful hatches that just run a little late. (For that matter, everyone who has posted anything - I've learned from it all!)

And FINALLY, we circle back to Sally, where I specifically thank her for the first part of her "assisted hatch" article where she puts in big, red, bold letters:

DO NOT RUSH THE HATCH!

(I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, but thank you all!!!!)

I'm off to go look at the cutie again and see how the zipping is going.
