Redinator's First Hatch-Along

[redinator]

So when you have eggs that have begun developing but quit, do you ever crack them open and examine the contents? Are you at all curious to see what happened or what stage the baby was at?

Not so far. I have cracked a few from the yard that didn't look appetizing for breakfast, so I think I'm good.

Do you recandle all the eggs when it's closer to hatch day?

Do you recandle all the eggs when it's closer to hatch day?

Yup, I'll be candling at least one more time before lockdown, maybe twice.

I have 24 eggs, so I'll probably candle 2 sets of 12.

I almost lost my mind. I looked at the "day" on the the incubator and it said 9.

I had to check my calendar, then I realized it's counting down . . . there are 9 days left, lol.

I’m so excited seeing one ended up developing! Seems like you did a good job candling them since you were right about so many!

I used this guide the first time I hatched and candled: https://thehomesteadingrd.com/candling-chicken-eggs-day-by-day/

It was the first one I found that explained what to look for and when to discard an egg.

What about Frog?

MMM, that might be a bad idea. My dog has a squeaky frog toy . . . I could see that causing problems, lol.
