day 23

Hi I just incubated 8 eggs, one was an early quitter. When I candled on day 16, all 7 were developed and moving, but one looked noticeably smaller maybe by a few days (but moving with good veins). Fast forward to hatch day and 6 chicks hatched on day 21. The one I had previously noticed as...

Hi All, So out of all the bantam eggs, we had two surviving eggs. One hatched on day 21, and it is now day 23 and there has been no sign of hatching. I believe this little one has died. Can anyone help by confirming the photos below? The mark at the bottom isn't a beak or anything, it is a...

Hello, I've been incubating some shipped eggs that I set on 3/7. Out of 24 eggs 15 made it to lock down, 5 hatched on the night of 3/28 within a few hours of each other, 2 more hatched later that same night. I assisted one more 3/29 that was stuck and came out with sprawled legs and labored open...

So I let a broody hen incubate eggs during the winter, a risk I know. I candled them on day 16 and all was good. I was planning to move mama and her eggs to a private brooder on the evening of day 17. Unfortunately in the afternoon of day 17 she was kicked off her nest by other hens and the eggs...

Hi everyone, can you please help me? All others hatched day 21-22 with the hen and she abandoned the nest leaving 6 eggs behind. I candled and kept two. I saw veining in one what I thought was probably an egg that I gave one day later because she refused some eggs after day one. Now it's day 23...

So I had 8 eggs in my incubator. 1 pipped and hatched on day 21 and I took her out once she fluffed up. Then yesterday day 22 I had 2 more hatch and 1 pip and start to zip for over 24hrs eventually helped that one last night, she's in the incubator exhausted sleeping and no really moving. But I...

Hello! I am new to incubating and hatching. This is my 2nd run. The first hatch was amazingly successful. We got 24 hatched out of 30 with only one rooster. Not even sure how we did that! We have the Maticoopx and live in a camper so with little to no room we set the incubator outside in our...

I have 3 eggs in the incubator on day 23. 3 of the other eggs hatched on day 21, including a maran. 2 still left are marans and the other is a surprise. I can’t see much in the Marans but I do still see veining. Here is a picture of the lighter egg, I’m using a headlamp so the majority of the...

she has pipped into the air sack, but not the shell. I can hear her pecking it, but no cracks. When do I help her?

I bought a few fertile Vorwerk eggs. It is now day 21 and there are still no pips to be seen. I set up 10 eggs and only 2 have survived since then, (could they just be late hatchers?). Does anyone have experience hatching Vorwerk eggs? Thanks in advance.

Hi All! I’m super new to hatching my own chicks. I have several batches in rotation in 2 incubators but my first batch was small and only one made it to lockdown. They are Mystic Marans which for all intents and purposes look just like BCM. So I assume anything applicable to BCM would help me. I...

I have 6 shipped silkie & bantam Cochin eggs in the incubator on day 23. I incubated them upright because of wonky air cells. One silkie hatched but was super malpositioned and I had to help, and Cochin hatched perfectly on day 21. I went ahead and candled the 6 mid day 22 and 4 seemed to be...

Hi Everyone! This is my first hatch and sadly we realized yesterday(day 22) that our temp was to low 😔. We thought the temp was right because I calibrated our mercury in glass thermometer in a cup of ice water and adjusted temp accordingly. Because hatch was delayed we double checked with...

Hi all, I'm completely new to this. I did my research, bought some eggs and followed all the advice. Unfortunately, my eggs were shipped, 4 out of 5 had detached/saddled air sacs and one had a crack!! I'm down to two viable eggs, one has a detached/saddle air sac, the other is fine. The...

I seen the egg wobbling at day 19 or 20! Today is Day 23 and never saw movement since! A bit worried!! Is this normal?

hi there, This is my first time incubating and hatching all on my own. Other times was the agriculture class project at school a couple of years ago. I have one egg who has made a hole in is shell, I can see it’s beak and he is chirping away. It was like this for 2 days so I thought I should...

So, I started with three frizzle bantam eggs and only one is still alive. This is my first time hatching and wow its been a lot of ups downs and learning by failing. I used a homemade incubator and after losing a few early on I finally got things sorted out. That being said, temp fluctuations...

Hi All, first timer here at hatching eggs in an incubator. I have an egg in my incubator one of the last, I'm on day 23 now. The egg has pipped but the membrane around the pip hole is turning yellow/ cream colour, it probably pipped over night. Do I need to be concerned / do anything? Any...

Start of day 23 under a broody hen...only 2/6 eggs hatched (started with 12 but 4 broke and two disappeared - don't want to think that hard about that). Is there any hope for the remaining 4 under my hen? She hasn't abandoned them yet.

Hi everyone, I need some advice! I've had seven of ten of my Scots Dumpys hatch, and 8 & 9 have been pipped for a while now (it's noon and I noticed them both around 8pm last night). (#10 hasn't done a thing yet.) Now the others all took their time too, but neither of these looks like the...
