    Malpositioned? Chicken egg hatching

    I have shipped eggs that externally pipped this AM. I just checked again and noticed one of the chicks now appears to have its leg/foot over its beak. The hole is bigger, but it’s beak is now partially obscured when it wasn’t before. The egg is still rocking back and forth quite vigorously but...

    Shipped eggs- loose membrane

    Hello! First time hatching shipped eggs. Have hatched many of my own successfully. They were treated pretty rough, packed well, but really tossed around. 2 arrived broken and all the rest (24) either had fully detached, partly detached, or saddled air cells. I’m very excited to have 21 going...

    Egg pipped Facing down, do I intervene?

    This egg is the first pip, and day 21 is tomorrow. Here's a photo of the piece of shell that has fallen off. I know there is a pip hole here because I can kneel down and just barely see the chick's beak poking out and moving. I've not seen this happen before. Should I intervene?

    HELP!! SADDLE AIR SAC?

    My eggs are on day 4 of incubation. I ordered them from eBay. I candled them just to see if I could see anything yet. While I was candling, I noticed the air sacs lookd really big and oddly shaped. I’ve kept the temp at 99.5 and the humidity between 50-57 percent. They’re in an NR360, so they...

    Eggs with aircells on side - how best to position for hatch?

    I have 2 eggs from a batch of 6 which were a long time in the post and took a week to get to me. Right now these 2 are developing and wriggling but air cells come from the fat end of the egg right down one side. I am wondering which is the best way to position them for hatching?

    Saddle Sac! How should I lay the egg to increase likelihood of surviving hatch?

    Help!! I shipped Croad Langshan eggs 2700km and they were all scrambled from shipping except for one. This little guy, that I’ve named Bruce Lee (in hopes it’s good karma for him to “ninja” his way out of the shell) is on day 16. He’s pretty feisty when I candle him, but he does have a saddle...

    Mid day 23 - should I help?

    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...

    Upright hatching - pipped wrong end

    Hi there, I have 8 eggs on lockdown (temp 99.5 humidity 65%) they’re just entering day 21. These are shipped eggs with wonky air cells so I’ve been following instructions to incubate them upright. I woke up this morning to find one egg had a pip but the pip is just barely above the cut down egg...

    Hatching Silkie Eggs with Damaged Air Cells

    Hello all! So we have been incubating some silkie (possible satin/drizzle) eggs that I bought on EBay. And as with many shipped eggs, we had some pretty messed up air cells. Anyhow, we are on day 19, in lockdown. I have read a million different articles on how to treat eggs with damaged air...

    Help ID Reattached Air Cell

    I've hatched plenty of batches of eggs in my incubators before, and even shipped eggs once, but they were handled with great care. This is my first time handling shipped eggs that had severely detached air cells. I'm on day 7 and most look like the picture below and the lighter area on the...

    Shipped eggs, Air cells, and Hatch-a-long

    I recently bought 18 eggs from a Dutch bantam breeder. I have never hatched shipped eggs before. Some of the air cells are "saddled" and others are not attached. I have read that you have to put these eggs in egg cartons on day 18. But what about beforehand? Do they need a different humidity...

    Orienting shipped eggs upright for lockdown

    Lockdown for my California quail eggs begins tomorrow. I've read about how shipped eggs sometimes survive until lockdown but still fail to hatch. Is this true, and is it because of damaged or detached air cells? Should I cut out pieces of the egg carton they were shipped in to make little...
