Newbie hatcher!! Bad eggs

[MGG]

Next time if I'm not sure I will definitely ask all my chicken lover friends before I make a mistake. Thank you and forgive me for my negligence. I feel a tad hopeful now.

It's ok. No worries. Incubating/hatching has a big learning curve, and it takes some time to figure out. I hope next time you candle more babies are developing!

Yes detached. Sorry. As in it moves with the egg.

What kind of incubator are you using? It means fat end up. That keeps the air more stable usually, and can give it time to re-attach.

Well it's not the best incubator. it's a Janel... I think that's it. It was like 40 dollars and holds 9 eggs. I cant seem to keep temp and humidty perfect so I mess with it. But if I need to position it I could possibly place something on the side to hold up?

That's the same kind I used to have. If you cut out one egg carton slot you can use that. Be sure to place it away from the turning rod though. You can even use a TP roll. Read this. https://www.backyardchickens.com/posts/22826616/

The person that shipped you the eggs did it foolishly. Be warned, the chick that you will get might not be purebreed americanas or even americanas. They shipped the eggs cheaply and didn't do research. You might get Easter Eggers instead because of either scam or they bought their chicks from the store that were labeled "Americana" even though the stores only have misnamed easter eggers. How much money did you spend?

Haha ur emoji. But I spent 60. And I was thinking that also after I saw the packaging and realized its probably a side hobbie for this person or extra money to them. So I will have to see. But luckily I just want it for my backyard flock. Just would suck to pay so much for a easter egger.

Wow. That is extremely helpful. So the eggs dont need to move while hatching or is it ok to be kept still like that
