embryo development

Well hi everyone it has been a long time since I've been here! Hope everyone is doing well! We are back at it again watch a baby chicken grow outside the egg!

I may be talking to wall now, but I had a hen sitting on eggs for over a month. Yesterday, I candled the egg and I saw a beak “breathing”. The egg looks underdeveloped by a few days. I know chicks take naps while hatching, but I saw stringy particles that looks like textile fray and swayed when...

So I found my girl laying on about five eggs and if the fertile I don’t really want to get rid of them all of them have kind of a darkness to him compared to the non-fertile egg that I got fresh. But this one egg I have a picture of has a kind of dark shadow in it that was moving around in the...

So I just candled my eggs today (day 18 of the incubation) and one of my cream legbar eggs is weird. It's 100% alive; moving around like crazy, beautiful veins all over etc. But it's half the size of the other emrbyos. It's only taking up about 3/7ths of the space in the egg. It's looks like a...

i’ve had two brinsea mini incubators for three years now, my hatch rate always being 100%or as close too it but recently the embryos/chicks have grown to full term and then they just die 1 or 2 days before hatching, i’ll be lucky if 2 hatch and i just don’t understand what’s happening, i’ve done...

Day 13 for my incubation. This little one didn’t have any visible movement. My others did. I can’t tell if I’m seeing veins or a blood ring. Most likely I will wait till hatching day but curious to see what others think.

Candling one of my mallard eggs at day 6.

Hi there! I recently purchased my first ever incubator, a Brinsea mini Advance ii. After putting eggs in, for the first two days, I did not realize that the automatic turner (which turns the eggs every 45 minutes), was not running long enough to completely rotate the top down to the bottom and...

First up, this question is actually about cockatiel eggs. I haven't been able to find any information that seems like a match, and the development process is similar enough that I think there's a good chance you'd be able to help me out. Cockatiel eggs take 18-21 days to hatch on average. I...

Hey all, I'm sure most of us have seen some version of a video and/or pictures of the shell-less egg experiments, especially the one with the news clip of Japanese students doing the experiment- this is a much clearer, much more methodical accounting of the process with great photography...

We recently had a huge tragedy with our home made incubator, it somehow managed to reach a temp of 118º and with my 5 pekin embryos in it I was sure they were all dead. Once I saw the temp that high I instantly brought them to door and sat them outside in the cold temp (30º) for a few minutes to...
