Me Again .... Really Concerned!

[TNFarmMomma]

So last week I posted a couple of times regarding over due eggs and the fact I opened one and it was alive but passed soon after. Last Tuesday one of my over due eggs hatched. I've been on vacation the last 5 days. My remaining 4 are currently 8 days late. What should I do at this point?

If it were me, I would...1. candle or 2. shake very gently near your ear.
Anything that rattles after 21 days gets tossed as far as you can. rattles= rotten egg for this farm gal.

 

[enel 1]

are you saying you eggs have been in the bator for 29 days?

 

[TNFarmMomma]

enel - yes

 

[TNFarmMomma]

they'reHis - Thank you for reminding me to candle. This is my first ever hatch.

UPDATE -

I just candled my 4 eggs. 2 I can see are no good. The other 2 I am very iffy on. I lightly shook as suggested, but heard nothing. I REALLY need some advice as what to do with the now 2 remaining. They have been in the incubator for 29 days. Surely I'm not the only one that has had this issue. Thanks!!!!

TNFarmMomma you are not alone. My egg developed and then nothing... i let it sit 3 weeks past due!!! I wouldn't keep them if i were you most likely you'll be disappointed. I speak only from my experience. Sorry
