    Should I turn the automatic turner on yet?

    Just put 10 shipped Silkie eggs in the incubator today. Should I wait to turn the auto turner on yet or wait?

    Any way to store extra fertilized eggs and hatch later?

    Hi I'm getting 12 shipped fertilized bantam eggs in the mail today. I did not want to hatch out that many eggs. I only wanted 2-3 at this time. Is there any way I can store these eggs to hatch out down the road? Any ideas with refrigeration etc?

    My Silkie Eggs are here! Any suggestions?

    I just received my delivery of Silkie eggs. I opened and unpacked the eggs. I put them in a carton large side up. Now I'm letting them sit for 24 hours then I will put them in the incubator tomorrow. The eggs do feel cool to the touch. I hope they are viable with being shipped in the cold...

    Chicken pip on day 16. Turner still in!

    So I went to rewater my incubator and opened the bator and hear a peep. I freaked when I look and see none other than a pip in an egg.. it's in the auto Turner and I don't know where to proceed from here. I need the egg out of the Turner as it's a big bator with a whole turning platform. No...

    Turning Shipped Eggs

    Hi all, I'll be incubating my first batch of shipped eggs soon and have been reading about different procedures people use for them. I have seen a few people mention letting them set longer and, once they are in the incubator, NOT turning them for the first week. The explanation for this was...

    Please advise when is lockdown for my duck eggs?

    My eggs went in at 10 am on the 7th September. When would you say lockdown is? The manual says 27-28 days to hatch. 3 days before is lockdown. But three days before 27 or 28 days? Also with the ones with saddled air cells should I still lay them on their side? If yes with the saddled part up or...

    Please tell me your shipped egg experiences!

    OK, I know a lot of people have a lot of trouble incubating shipped eggs. I got 12 Cayuga eggs. One was smashed on delivery and went in the bin. One was infertile. So I now have 10 of 10 fertile eggs on day 18 moving vigorously. The air cells aren't good some worse than others and I even...

    Breeder sent old/infertile eggs, what should I say?

    I ordered two dozen eggs from a local breeder here in Arizona and its turned out to be kind of a disaster. Firstly, I'm 15 and have been saving my money to be able to afford this breeders eggs, they are $50 a dozen and I bought two dozen. I may be young but I've been raising chickens for years...

    Unusual Air Cells.

    I have shipped Call duck eggs, which I checked today (day 5), just to see the ones that were looking promising because I've heard how tough they are to hatch. I'm rather happy because 7/10 are looking pretty good, but one or two of them have rather large dips in the air cell. I know that can...

    Embryo on TOP of egg?

    So I recently got shipped chicken eggs and put them inside a circulated incubator (without a turner) and the left overs inside another incubator but with a turner and still-air. I found that some eggs more in the incubator with the turner had embryos (day 4) that were halfway into the air sack...

I fully understand that hatching shipped eggs is a gamble but dang.. I have been having horrible luck. The first two hatches I bought local.. Set 4 quail eggs only...
