Hi,
I have 3 tolbunt polish eggs in incubator now on day 15. Last night I candled all 3, and 2 of them were still moving around inside.
Something is not right though. I didn't get pics, and wish I would have. The best I can describe it, is it looks like they are bleeding inside the egg. Yes, there is veining, but also spots where it looks like a big blood ring. The chicks are still alive in 2 of the eggs, that I am sure of. I just don't know what's going on, Bec I candled them the day before and all was ok. It looked right on day 13 compared to my previous hatch, but day 14, is just really different.
I am not sure if they are on their way out(going to die) or what.
They had a very rough journey through the mail, and most of the eggs were completely broken with yolks everywhere. I had to rinse yolk off them. I followed the shipped egg advice Bc they had rolling air cell.
They have been handled ever so gently since they arrived.
I am going out of town and have a egg sitter coming to rotate them.
The incubator has been consistent. (Built myself with cooler and wafer thermostat, and it's forced air. Temp good 100 degrees, and humidity 30-35%, since I learned first time around that I ended up drowning my first batch of chicks with too high humidity 55% 1-18 days and 70% last 3 days.
I tried the 30-35% humidity on large batch of quail eggs and had an awesome hatch rate.
Is there something unique to polish eggs I don't know about?
I just don't think something is right with these eggs.
It's hard to describe . The aircells look good in 2 and third egg, may be dying or already dead, looks like a moving glob when tilted, also looks like liquid in bottom of aircell in the 3rd egg.
What I don't get it that it was such a drastic change from 1 day before.
Any help appreciated.
