    Slightly dirty egg - incubation

    Hi all! My first eggs got here! 🥰 Facing two tiny hiccups. One: the egg is a little dirty. I’ve read to not incubate dirty eggs and to not wash them to clean up before incubation. How dirty is too dirty? This was the extra sent with my batch of 12, bringing us up to 13. The other eggs were all...

    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...

    Incubating Shipped Turkey Eggs (Tips?)

    I'm being impulsive, again... Been wanting heritage type turkeys since last year and now that my brooders will be empty soon and my meat bird grow out pen is likely to be empty in another month I've decided I'd give it a try by hatching eggs. I know it would be cheaper and more certain to get...

    Can eggs start developing after day 7 of incubating?

    I got shipped eggs, did everything I read on here to do and also some advice from FB I believe… out of 14 eggs, only 4 are developing. This is the least I’ve had develop from shipped eggs and I did things a little different, left them without turning for a week, among other things. I’m wondering...

    Shipped egg assortment - breed ID guesses?

    I ordered a dozen hatching eggs from My Pet Chicken and I’m speculating on what breeds they could be. Just for fun of course, doesn’t matter to me what they end up being, and will be neat to compare to what actually hatches. The eggs are marked but the markings on 9/12 eggs aren’t on the key...

    Random menagerie Christmastime hatch-a-long

    Hello all! This hatch along is just a huge mix of a bunch of different things. All being tossed together into one huge experiment. If anyone wants to claim an egg or two to follow, let me know which number!! It’s been probably 6 months since I hatched anything. Recently we had a tragedy...

    A great method for shipping hatching eggs!

    I’m writing this post for anyone who ships eggs who wants a good method for packaging their eggs. I haven’t ever shipped eggs. But I have purchased many shipped eggs, and of the many many shipped eggs that I have gotten, this method has always yielded the highest hatch rates for me. If I ever...

    Hatching Eggs- Breeder Requirements

    Hatching Eggs - I would like everyone's opinion.... What do you consider to be the fulfillment of a breeder's responsibility in selling hatching eggs? Is it that the eggs are to be fertile and in adequate condition to hatch under normal circumstances. Would you consider the breeder's side of...

    Unlucky with Shipped Eggs

    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...

    New here, hello! First time incubating, duck eggs in a Little Giant -- tips (humidity, temp?) :)

    Hello folks!! :) I raised chickens and (LOTS of) ducks growing up, and totally fell in love with keeping ducks. I had my own mini flock of khaki campbells about 10 years ago, but have had to step away from it since. I finally live somewhere where I can have backyard poultry again, and I'm SO...

    Last eggs day 23, when to help or call it quits?

    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...

    Hatching shipped eggs, some with bad air cells.

    Well I'm ~5-6 days away from welcoming new chicks to the world for the first time. I've always wanted to hatch eggs and finally after slowly getting the family warmed up to the idea of keeping chicken for two years it's happening! I think the main trigger was when some trashy person dumped a...

    Shipped Eggs, possibly scrambled, how long until def bad?

    New to incubating bird eggs and could not tell much from candling my shipped chicken eggs on day 1. How many days in the incubator before they make it known that they are definitely bad? I'm on day 3 and worried because none of them smell yet, but they can't all have made it ok. Thanks in advance.
