Kiki's found horse eggs—experiment Round 2

[sdm111]

What was your humidity during 1-18 looks like the chick is awfully large like high humidity would do

 

[Kiki]

One issue might have been nutrition. What does the horse stall place flock eat?

What ever they can find. They are wild.

25 percent.

 

[Kiki]

25 percent.

I kept it low. Never got above 30 and I only upped it to about 50 yesterday.

Not possible. The humidity never got high.

 

[Kiki]

Bbiaf.

Nutrition and parasites can be a problem for wild chickens. That hurts the hatch--The chick in the eggtopsy has it's head kinked indicating wry neck--a vitamin deficiency

It does look rather large relative to the shell, but I don't see any other obvious issues. Membrane looks good, inside the shell looks nice and clean (relatively lol)

Neck kinked like that looks totally normal to me.

The blood smear might also have meant it was a pullet egg. Pullet eggs have a lower success rate because they are relatively small.
