Sorry guys, I’ve been sick with a sinus infection for a couple days, and I’ve been down for the count. If I can wake up, I will candle this evening

Hello All -

*disclaimer* - there is a picture of a quitter, so if you are queasy, don’t look)

I’m sorry I haven’t gotten to updates sooner, I have been sick the majority of this week with a wicked sinus infection and have been bedridden. I did candle this evening, but wish I hadn’t

I pulled 9 eggs this evening because I didn’t see any veining or movement. I immediately cracked them all open because I’m just so perplexed, and I have had this very specific issue happen before. There was embryonic development, but they looked to have all quit around the same day, I’m guessing between 7-10 days. I have spent hours trying to find something that could give me even a possible cause, and I am finding nothing. I have the same eggs in a second incubator at the moment, and the ones that are left are moving all happy with strong veining, so I don’t know what the hell is going on. I’m attaching a picture from one of the eggs I pulled this evening in hopes someone can see something. All nine looked almost exactly the same and seemed to be attached to the air sack. I KNOW it’s not a breed issue, as I have a yard full of babies that have been incubated by both me and a broody.

All cemanis (#’s 1-12) EXCEPT for #10(@Yard farmer) were pulled. I might be just hopeful on that one.

All others (@Ilovemychicks08 , @Falona Hen , @shabby chic-hens , @ObsessedWithSilkies , @HorseGirlAbby , @junior67 , @fluffycrow), are doing good.

It is a miserable end to a miserable week, so please excuse my lack of enthusiasm. If anyone can give me any insight on why this could be happening, I would be very grateful. Again, have same eggs from same hens in second incubator that are thriving. I know that incubating cemanis has its challenges, but I’ve never had every single one I set, quit. They are all fertilized or they wouldn’t be developing. Thanks

(((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) I am sorry. I wish I had answers for you but I am not sure.

(((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) I am sorry. I wish I had answers for you but I am not sure.

Thank you, I needed a hug I have not stopped looking for information, and did find the Hubbard breeders incubation guide, page 51 that has offered some insight. I’m actually going to see if I can order this, it looks like a real wealth of information. https://www.hubbardbreeders.com/media/incubation_guideen__053407700_1525_26062017.pdf

You are the sweetest- thank you so much. I hate to come off as such a Debbie downer, I know these things happen, I’m not real good with the unknown. On the bright side, I have several that are doing great and that’s what I will focus on moving forward (I’m pretty sure I always say that, but whatever )

it is hard not to try to figure out what happened and very sad to lose that many at one time. So I don't think being a debbie downer at all. just normal response to a sad situation.
