This is gonna be so helpful! I’m candling my first home-hatched clutch tonight, and they’re being incubated by a loyally broody hen. 7 days so far, I just wanna check if they’ve got growth/life!
I hope you find little dancing eyes in them. 🥰
Yay finally the update awesome video!! Thanks for all these awesome educational videos! I can’t wait till the eggs hatch!
Tonight is lock down, so just a few more days! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing! My kids loved watching, we hatched out eggs last year at my moms house and they LOVED it. She timed it out so most of them hatched on my daughter's birthday, that was a blast.
How fun!! Kids LOVE hatching...but then who doesn’t? LOL
@@ChickenHues right! Like Christmas for everyone😅
Thank you! This is the best video of determining a good egg vs eggs NOT developing.
I’m glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for making this video and posting it so I could see it tonight. I have some goose and chicken eggs that I'm trying to hatch for the very first time. I have backup orders with a couple of hatcheries, but I want to start on the road to hatching my own eggs. It's a nervous learning process, if only because It is so very hard to tell if a rooster (or gander) is doing their job until you check.
I was thrilled to find that both my gander and my roosters are doing their jobs. And I'll be expecting the first new additions to the flock before the end of the first week of March.
Thank you again.
How fun!! Yes, it can be very stressful!! Be prepared that sometimes it goes great and sometimes it doesn’t. I hope yours goes great!!
SO interesting.. and look at all that life in those eggs..beautiful..
It’s so cool, isn’t it?
Very informative and interesting, Stacie.
Questions:
1. After lighting and you see development, should you place the egg with the air pocket right-side up or down?
2. What happens to the undeveloped eggs? (eat, toss, or give to the chickens?)
Enjoyed a full-watch. Have a fine weekend.
The air cell is at the top when they’re in the incubator. That is the wider end.
I just toss the eggs that didn’t develop or stopped. It would probably be ok to give them to the chickens, but my concern is bacteria from being in the incubator.
Great questions! Thank you!
@@ChickenHues Thanks Stacie and say hey to Steve. Really enjoyed the educational info. You ought to take this to the elementary schools to show how this entire process works. I think they'd love it!
Ive got one rooster to 7 hens, so hoping for the best
You should not have a fertility problem! Lol
You might have to talk with your roosters and hens!! lol
I hope you have a great hatch with the ones you have left!! 👍
I may to have a talk with that rooster over dinner. 😂 Thanks for stopping by!
Great video I enjoy my chickens a lot. Thanks for the help!
Thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful!
Hi God bless so does the rooster hit the pot or are you adding another rooster to the flock. That's cool seeing the embryo growing inside the shell like that, enjoyed spending sometime with you this afternoon my friend
Thanks for watching! I usually keep two when I have them. This guy will eventually be replaced by ones that I raise this year. 😀
Thank you for these videos. Yours have been the most helpful!
Glad you like them!
I grabbed some chicks this year. This is my first year with my chickens. They've just recently started laying AND I just recently noticed one is a rooster.
The question of the day was how to tell if an egg is fertilized or not. Mt internet search led me to candling, and 15 minutes later I'm here on your video. I understand you're trying to breed, but I'm trying to eat and gift eggs.
I'll incubate and hatch whatever egg is fertilized. I'll figure out what to do with the chicks later. I just don't want to Crack an egg and dump a fetus in my pan.
Chances are if you have a rooster that they’re fertilized. It makes no difference in the quality or taste of the eggs. A chick will not start to develop unless the eggs is kept at 99 degrees under a hen.
You’ve got a nice setup and the experience and Expertise that’s for sure. Great advice 👍
Thanks, Rick! 😀
Always so cool. I want Steve to make me one of those lights ;P
It’s awesome! So heavy duty, too!
I'm incubating my first eggs and today is my first candling. Are there any serious consequences if I "misdiagnose" an egg as a good one and leave it in? If I'm not sure, could I do another candling prior to the next one that you're supposed to do around day 18 (I think)?
It could explode if it’s bad. I almost
Always leave them in until I’m sure. Unless you smell a bad smell or the eggs are really dirty , it should be fine to wait.
Hi we seem to be having a problem with our incubator? The air sac is not on top or bottom but rather the sides, there appears to be development though. I heard this may cause deformities. What do you recommend?
Are the eggs upright in the incubator? If so, make sure that the pointy ends are down. I’ve had them hatch ok like that but it’s unusual to see it.
I could see the eyes and full of datkness oneside but i couldnt see any movement. How to know they are alive or not
Great content. Where do I get a candling light like the one in your video?
My husband needs to make more! He made this one.
after you candle the eggs and see life, do you turn them? I have an incubator that will automatically turn them, but, I'm not sure if I should be doing that.
Mine has a turner so I just let it do it’s thing. 🙂
Please ignore the name, I made it as a joke but this is literally so cool!
What type of egg candle do you use. Thank you for your channel and all you do.
Thanks for the kind words! My husband made it- it’s custom made. There are some great candlers available online.
Does it matter which side is down when you are candling? We have been putting pointy side down in the incubator and when candling. First time incubating. Also we can't see inside the eggs with the candlers we have tried. (blue and green eggs) Day 10
Pointy end down in the incubator and candle with the pointy side UP. Then the air cell is at the bottom and it is easier to see. Colored eggs are very hard to see into. I have a video called how to candle dark eggs. You might get some tips from that.
Can you please give me information on the candling light you are using i would like to purchase same light
It’s a “husband special”. He made it. It’s really nice!
Hello! I have a question 🙋♀️ I’m incubating some quail eggs, today is fifth day of incubate. I see some veins but I don’t see it moving, so are they dead or still alive?
You won’t see movement that early. If you see veining it sounds like they’re developing!
what do you do with the non fertile eggs? I have some Speckled Sussex eggs in the incubator day 12! Good luck!
They get thrown away. I’d rather not give them to the chickens or dog because of bacterial concerns from being in the incubator. That’s what I do. Best of luck on yours! What kind are you Incubating? Let me know how they do!
I am incubating eggs currently, i put them in on sunday night at around 6:30pm i checked them today so it’s about the 4th day and all i see is yolk, what do you recommend?
Wait to candle until they’re at least 7 days along. It’s very hard to see much before that. 😊
@@ChickenHues Thank you!!
this is my first time doing so i’ve been so anxious to make sure they’re developing!
my broody hen on day 9 and i see chicks in the eggs 3 look pink then the fourth eggs just really dark inside i see movement in it does this mean it might be a different clouer chick and i cant see it that well
Not sure? Has she been sitting on that egg longer than the others? Or is the egg a different color? Darker eggs are harder to see into?
what do you do with unfertile eggs?
I usually just throw them away after they’ve been incubating.
Where did you get your light?
My husband made it. It’s awesome!
Before we decide to hatch we add a few roosters with the ladies.
We have good results.
Awesome!
We have chick eggs in class and it is our 6 and we saw vaning inside
Good
What kind of lamp do I have eggs of dark brown color, it is difficult to see the fetus
It’s really hard to see much detail in colored eggs (dark brown or blues/greens).
What if I see a air pocket but nothing else in a egg on day 7
Is it a dark egg? I would find that somewhat encouraging. Often air cells
Won’t show up well unless there is some development. Check again in a few days or another week.
Where did u get the egg candler?
My husband made it. It’s awesome. You can buy other candlers online and sometimes feed stores carry them.
@@ChickenHues u should ask him to make a video about it! It whould be very helpful for many pepole!
Hii I'm new!
I’m so glad you’re here! Thanks for stopping by! 😀
At least most of the OE where fertile! That’s to bad about the other ones though. /:
I normally would check fertility before setting them so I know. Since this was a test hatch I kind of combined the two steps. 😂
maybe you need to get another rooster, but then they might spend more time fighting than entertaining the ladies?
It’s more peaceful with just one in the winter. When they’re in the smaller area one rooster usually keeps the other cowering in the coop. But it’s definitely better for fertility.
This is about what I had last year with one rooster and had no problems. He must be too busy attacking my boot to do his job. Lol
Slow down, please.
So sorry! There is a setting where you can slow down the speed. That may help. 😊
This is my first time doing this...I've got some eggs that are completely solid inside and there is some clear jel type stuff on the outside of the shell.... My chickens have gone broody and I just realized what was going on.... Please help... I'll send you my email if you would please help me 🙏 Kendra
Not sure what is going on with your eggs but that doesn’t sound normal at all. They sound rotten to me!
Good
