Yes its store bought. I borrowed it from a friend who has hatched cockateils in it. Their cockateils were also late ( hatching started day 25 ended day 28) which i only just found out. But they all hatched at least. Im just trying to be patient and wait it out but were getting closer to day 26 and ive seen minimal movement and hardly any sounds which is making me very anxious. I did see an egg wobble this morning.
Yes i did. They currently have very visible air sacs
Just to be clear, the thermometer you used to confirm this had been fairly recently calibrated to ensure accuracy?
Its not uncommon to have a few quitters and clears .My broody hatched 5 out of 8 eggs all of them were fresh eggs
HUman intervention as in taking a pair of scissors and trimming the feathers on the rooster and hens both increases fertility. Sorry if I wasn't clear what the 'intervention' was.
Can you see veins or embryos? Air sacs are in all eggs and don't mean anything.
I did in some but they didnt finish ig
Thats alright, thanks for clarifying! I will definitely do that if there is a next time. Unfortunately cant own a rooster where were at, at least as long as the council doesnt find out. We were bed ridden with the flu and werent able to lock him up at night so he started crowing at 3 am and neighbours mustve gotten pissed and dobbed us in so we had to get rid of him
