    Shipped eggs in incubator

    So, we took the plunge and have 20 shipping eggs arriving Saturday! My plan was to immediately (carefully) unpackage them and set them fat end up at room temperature next to the brooders in an egg carton for 24 hours. My question is: to help continue to let the air cells reattach, do we take...

    How bad did I mess up?

    I cannot believe what I did! I put eggs on the incubator and then a couple of days later while O was doing 10 other things I wrote out my hatching dates on my calendar - but I wrote them WRONG by 3 days. So now - in my head I’m at day 21 but I just realized I’m at day 18. Which means I stopped...

    Completely Detached Air Cells - Day 1 (Advice Please)

    I have received a very squashed box of hatching eggs yesterday - due to the amazing job of internal packing by the breeder no eggs were broken - with scrambled eggs (a bit of an exaggeration). All but 3 (which have a partial/saddle attachment) air cells are completely detached. I let the eggs...

    Detached air cells

    My eggs arrived a week ago and almost all of them had detached air cells 😢. I’ll be candling them for the second time (first when they started incubating) around day ten to see if they have any life. I initially tried to keep the worst four, more upright when turning, in a separate incubator...

    Shipped Eggs Busted *Questions*

    Looking for advice on what to do. Today I got my shipped hatching eggs after 7 days of transit. Some arrived smashed and the box smelled really bad of course. I cleaned up the ones that weren’t cracked but I’m worried the eggs that survived the trip could have been contaminated by bacteria of...

    A Faverolle breeder is shipping me a dozen eggs tomorrow. They should arrive in a couple days. Looking for advice! I have only one incubator (circulated air Hovabator 1588), and an automatic turner that takes up all the bottom space (of course, I take it out for lockdown). If absolutely...
