StephenW Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hi guys, Was wondering if you could advise please, I had 6 fertile eggs (3 pekin and 3 polish) in brinsea mini advanced and they were due to hatch tuesday night there but only two have hatch one pekin and one polish, when I candle the eggs they seem to be filled with the chick but no more have pipped. Can you advise please? Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonetog Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 All I can offer is that I hatched 2 chicks using a broody hen, well, she did it herself really... One chick came 2 or 3 days after the other, and the first was a day later than I expected. They were Pekins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 If they are still alive you should see them moving. If hatching is imminent you shoudl see moving within the airspace I would have a quick candle then put them back in, make sure th hunidity is high enough and sit on your hands for a couple more days Sometimes it is not meant to be though so dont be too disappointed if they dont hatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
