Shame on me... please dont judge

Less is more. Being so busy to leave your hands off is probably a VERY GOOD thing!

As for wormer, yeah, poisons can cause low hatchs even if eggs are fertile. Eggs that were clear or die along the way are often caused by developmental defects, but unlikely that defects will make it far enough for you to see them or for them to hatch.

Pullet eggs can hatch, just often not advised since chicks start out with less material and smaller bodies which can be a disadvantage. Still grow to full size though.

Don't even think about opening that bator till day 22!!!
 
Thursday will be day 21 to my counting. I put them in the bator on the morning of the 23rd of october.
I normally go behind the local sav a lot store to ck on t heir garbage.. on thursdays they have a tremendous amount of veggies and fruits they throw out and one day they also had cartons of eggs.
I brought several cartons home and intended to boil them for the chickens or my dogs and laid them on a picnic table in my back yard and they were forgotten. ( yes Im lame in many areas)
severl weeks later I took them to the wooded area behind my house and cracked them just to see what was in them. (it was summer)
The eggs had chicks that had started to grow. looked to me about 10 to 13 days gestation. I was so shocked..they were grocery store eggs! Had been in refrigeration for "who knows" how long and they were beginning to grow chicks?
go firgure.
Had I known that I would have put them in my bator for sure. And taken care of them!
Its 930 pm here in lower tennessee temperature outside is 52 degrees and its 69 in here. The eggs have a constant temp of 99 in my former trash room that I now call my treasure room and all is still.
I would be shocked if any of them hatch. but stranger things have happened Im sure.
thanks for all the support its good to feel Im not alone in this. A.J.s

I had eggs in the bator once for a week, had a hen go broody so i took 7 out of the bator and put under the hen, she sat for a day and decided that was enough, took the eggs back to the bator, 2 days later I went to check the eggs, and thought OMG! I left an egg out beside the bator, stuck it in and it hatched 2 days after the others did. So have faith anything is possible!

csibb
 
Well my dear friends.. the peep has pipped. A beautiful white chickey... with some darker places. picture to come.. then a few hours later I heard another peep and whallaaaaa a black baby came hopping and stumbling out.
Now I hear a more peeping but cant connect it.
I placed the peepers in one bator and candled the rest. all but five were obviously dead or empty. so que sa ra sa ra..

I have 3 that are going to get opened pretty soon. I hate to do it, but so many times Ive let em sit and peep and then found them dead. Id rather take them out too soon than too late.
Thanks for your interest. pictures and more to come.. stay tuned. A.J.s
 


in case this should show a pic to you all, its a egg I opened up on day 24 of this pitiful hatch.
I dont know what is going on here, hope someone out there can help me.
the chick was alive. took one breath and laid back ..gone. I felt ashamed, but how long can one keep a hatch going?
