I remember when I first joined this site looking into chickens a few years back someone did that, and I clicked the link just in time to watch a chick pop out

My cream legbars started pipping today and 2 just hatched. They were faster than any others I've hatched. 5 more have now pipped.

What do ya’ll do with your early quitters?

And what do you do with eggs that didn’t develop but have been in the incubator for 12 days?

I always check to see that I was correct, and crack them into a ziploc baggie. If/when I make a mistake, at least I’ll know what it looked like and won’t accidentally throw out any more. Depending on the season, they go into the compost or the trash.

If they’re not stinky, I make scrambled eggs for my dog or she gets them raw if there was an embryo…not really trying to look at that in the frying pan.

If I didn’t have a dog, they would go to the compost.

We have 6 little fuzzballs, 2 more are pipped and 1 to go. Also 1 duck egg that will be a week behind the chicks because we had 1 extra spot in the incubator.
