Um its been awhile since I've been on. But I bought my first batch of (pretty expensive!) shipped eggs. Waited several months for these. I followed all of the recommended steps, let them rest 24hrs before placing in the incubator, waited a few days before switching the turner on. On day 6 I...
Hi, iv had some shipped eggs delivered they are due to go into the incubator today.
2 have detached funny shaped air cells but not fully detached which I’m going to keep upright in the incubator, the other 4 haven’t got perfectly round air cells on top some move ever so slightly making it but of...
Evening All,
I am just looking for some advice.
I have just received 3 eggs posted, and I have candled them to look at the condition of them.
The air sac appears to be slightly saddle shaped (having done some reading about them).
I am leaving the eggs for 24 hour to settled before placing...
Aaaaaand we’re back..
4 years later and I’m lucky enough to need to use this app again.
Basically.. I jokingly bid on some call duck eggs (on eBay) and was surprised the next day when a “Congratulations! You won” appeared on my phone..
So here we are. Day 1.
5/9 eggs have saddled air cells...
Hello, I am incubating 7 silkie eggs from my own flock. Today was day eight of incubation. I candle them and didn't see any veins but the yolk looked dark. The air cell was the correct size for day eight and has grown considerably since I first put them in. Does this mean that an embryo is...
I need some suggestions to help some difficult fluid-logged eggs:
I got two different sets of eggs shipped. One set was/is in horrible shape. I followed shipped egg guidelines (I believe it was a Sally Sunshine’s article/thread). I am on day 11 of incubation and air cells still have not...

I’m not sure how this happened, but ive been aiming for 70-80% humidity in my incubator. The lowest it has gone is 66%. We are at Day 14, and air sacs are pitifully small. Is there any way to fix this? Take humidity WAAAAY down for a while? I’m desperately trying to preserve the genetics of a...
Ok... 23 shipped eggs...I let them rest upright for 48 hours before setting. They are in an upright tilting turner. I candled them today, day 7, 6 of the eggs had no development and every solitary one of the others has a detached air cell:thI am so disappointed I am almost sick. This is my first...
Today is day 10 with 10 speckled Sussex eggs in our small incubator. The eggs are all laid on their sides, and there is a circular dish in the center of the incubator with some water in It. Each egg has its fat, rounded end at the center and the pointier end at the wall of the incubator.
We...
So today is day 22 of my chicks incubating I have candeled as they are late (I know I shouldn’t) but the air sacs look really small and I’m not sure if I have done something wrong or some just come late any idea?
Q: Is it best to HATCH eggs with attached, though saddle shaped air sacs on their sides, or upright in egg cartons? Pros and cons of each?
I am on day 18 of incubating 5 bantam eggs. All eggs are thriving well, though 5/5 eggs have fairly severely shaped, though normal sized saddle shaped air...
On day 13 of incubating, I candled the eggs and all six were fine. (There was a seventh and eighth that died, but they were in the refrigerator for a time. It was kind of an experiment.) Today is day 14. But when we candled them, there were healthy moving embryos inside but on both sides it...
