The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

[QuailGuy88]

I just candled some eggs today and found that they were developing

, BUT I noticed that most of the ones that were developing had a broken or detached air cell.

So I don't know what to do...should I keep them....get rid of them...I have never hatched before so I need some help from experienced peeps. How would the air cell mess up affect the chicks hatching or developing?

Hello, Sorry it has taken so long to post my photo of the eggs. I set a total of 52, 25 in an incubator and 27 under two different broodies on Thursday, 3-7-2013. This is my first time with broodies. I am giving them to many eggs? I am thinking about moving some eggs around after I candle on Thursday.

If they arent in a turner put them in one or an egg carton to incubate them big end up.
Many will settie down then .Dont throw them out they will hatch or some should anyway GOOD LUCK!

Cots are holding back on the eggs. Then again these are the youngsters so I'm waiting to see if they cough them up.

In the meantime


Maybe I should raise these

I just caught up! Wow this is going to be a hard thread to keep up with.

The goats are adorable.

The demon bunnies are cute.

All the pics of the eggs & chicks are beautiful.

The dobie is a beauty.

If I missed anything/anyone I am sorry.

Good hatching vibes to everyone!

Now, whoever captioned that photo is as twisted and crazy as me, because that's FUNNY and oddly perfect.

It dosen't look right to me. It shouldn't easily float like in the video. Lets have others chime in, I don't think it's alive.

RED....I haven't caught up with all the posts, so maybe someone has said something, but with that much dark mass, you should see some movement by now, without moving it yourself.
