On day 3 of trying to hatch an egg in my boobs

[PrincessKiara]

Update..both babies are gone. I opened the top of both eggs. No movement and despite being kept warm in my boobs they are cold and stiff.

All 3 are gone they weren't shrink wrapped and had fully absorbed the blood so idk what happened! I guess they couldn't pip externally and suffocated... I tried to help but...I was too late...When I opened the tops they were already stiff...

I’m so sorry...

Oh no, I'm so sorry..
The only one that seemed to be ready possibly was the one in the middle. The two on the ends didn't absorb their yolks so they were not ready to come out at all.

The one in the middle is the one that I thought was going to hatch first, and he died first. His yolk was smaller than the others...and a bright neon green that smelled. It ruptured when I took him out of the egg. They had all fully absorbed the blood but not the yolk. Weren't shrink wrapped either. Any clue what happened so I can avoid that with my current two chicken eggs? I will be ordering more quail eggs and trying again. I refuse to give up. It can be done or we wouldn't have gotten this far.

My thought is they couldn't get in a good position to externally pip because of your daily movement. Broody hens sit very still the last few days. I'm not sure I'd continue the experiment at this point unless you go in with the mentality that you'll be assisting them hatch at the end since there's too many uncontrolled variables.

That's what I was thinking, that it took me too long to assist. I will try again, and I will 100% be assisting hatching. I'll make an air hole the moment I see an internal pip.

I hope my chicken eggs make it to hatch...

Oh, no, I'm so sorry to hear about this! The poor little things....
You did really well, though! Getting them all that far along takes doing. Good job, and good luck with the others!
Happy Easter!

How far are the chicken eggs in now?
