I'm getting way ahead of my self... I thought my eggs were on day three or four, but they're actually on day one!

So I had a teensy peek at a few eggs this morning. I found a pretty deformed aircell, unevenly saddle shaped I guess you could say. Missed it at setting. Incuview so they are laying on their sides. Too late to help it?

perfect timing seems you got missed by others we all set about then too I will tag @ronott1 so he knows your here

Thank you so much!! I've only got a chicken barnyard mix, but still excited to see what my Heinz-57 babies look like!

I don't get it....
What do we have all these 'hatching rules' such as you MUST keep the pointy end down and when your storing them keep pointy and turn the eggs 2-3 times a day when storing?
The hens don't do this.
Most of the time when I have a problem incubating I think "What would a broody do?" and then all is good.

Day 18 Lockdown! I am stopping the egg turner tonight. Looks good so far. I got 4 eggs to day 18 but we will see. One egg in particular looks really promising. So I am hoping and praying to finally hatch my own chicks. One question left, if only one chick hatches out of the remaining 4 eggs can it survive alone?

It would really do better with a coop mate.
