Thank you. And what if there is a pip?? (A hiding one I don't see)

That's why you do it quickly.

So… discussion with some other chicken people has me scratching my head. I was told that hot water expands eggs so they push bacteria out and then closes the pores. I've never in my life heard that. Have any of you?

Thanks Ron for the info on the following:


High- and low-temperature manipulation during late incubation: effects on embryonic development, the hatching process, and metabolism in broilers.

Quote: Thanks! The polish egg and one of the silkies have piped! I was worried about those not doing anything.

Ive got 29 chicks hatched . Not a lot compared to the 76 eggs I set, but that was due to infertile shipped eggs. All but a couple of my own eggs hatched
