6 Fertile Chicken Hatching Eggs

I managed to save 4, of the 8, chicken eggs that was sent to me. * eggs were sent, 2 were not fertile and 1 died inside the shell at day 19. One was able to pip its way out of the shell but died 8 hours later. The other 4 eggs had live chicks inside as I could hear them pipping on the shell and chirping. If you place the egg on your ear and hear pipping and chirping then they are alive and trying to get out. I heard this and I waited another eight hours did not see anything come through the egg, not even a small pip hole. I waited another 8 hours and on just one there was a small pip hole with no change in the size. I could hear the 4 chicks chirping but they stopped peaking at the inside. I waited another 4 hours, the next day and still no change in a break through. I could hear chirping in two eggs now and the peaking had all stopped. I started picking away at the one with the hole so the chick would breath. I candled the other three and saw no movement and proceeded an emergency c-section chicken birth. I broke the eggs on the correct side where the beak would be via the candling so they could breath. When I broke through, they stared out at me and started chirping. I placed the ones that had not absorbed all the egg yolk back in the incubator. since I knew they were now safe. I placed the ones that was still attached to the egg back in the incubator and closed it up. I waited 24 hours and checked again and found all 4 to still be alive, dry, chirping and running around. After the 3rd day, I placed all four in their brooder. after 2 weeks I placed them all in a bigger brooder and after 4 weeks, I placed the all in yet a bigger brooder. They are all now 6 weeks old and waiting for the weather to get warmer to go outside in their new home. I am new at all this but, I used my common sense after the first one died and I went with my gut feeling and took matters into my own mind and rescued them all from their shell of doom. I have since learned that chicks that are not strong enough to break through an egg shell might be because of the what the egg layer is fed or how they are treated. Maybe to much stress in their life? IDK but on day 19 if you place the egg against your ear and hear chirps or pipping but see no break through then help them out. Make sure to allow them to absorbed the egg yolk. Play it by ear and if they seem to be energized enough to go to the brooder then move them. I believe the first one died because I did what they said to do on the internet and left him in the incubator for three days and I didn't trust my own instinct which was get him out and give him water and food. Edit: I ordered 6 eggs again and 8 was sent. Two was not fertile. one died in the shell and five chicks hatched. They are all healthy baby chicks, eating just fine and drinking. I dont know what it is about fertile eggs from this vendor but, all the ones I have received seem to be smarter than normal and develop and grow to be mature chicks or maybe its just me and the way I treat my baby chicks. I handle mine a lot and am always interacting with them so, maybe that is the key to a healthy chick. I am always attentive to there needs and I come when they chirp loud so, there know that I am there.

I placed to six eggs in the incubator at the same time as six eggs from a different farm and none of these eggs hatched. I don’t think they were fertilized all six of the other ones hatched. They were received on the same day and placed in the same incubator for the same amount of time candled, they showed no growth veining, or any stage of life.

So I have a little girl named Penny and she has always wanted to be a mama, sitting on the nest, all day, I would have to force her out just to eat and drink. She didn't realize she needed a rooster...,long story short, my brother thought this was so sweet he bought her 6 fertilized eggs. We Received 8 safely wrapped and a date stamp from when they were laid. I place 3 in the incubator and gave 5 to Penny. She was ecstatic. Didn't leave them for a minute unless lifted off by hand! Annnddd after 21 days Penny’s hard work paid off!! None of the incubator eggs hatched, but those under Penny thrived. I am so happy with the result!! 5 beautiful baby chicks. Healthy and happy and best of all Penny is so happy!!!Penny knows best!! Thank you brother C. and -----Great results!!

Very disappointed,1 out of 6 hatched I Incubate my eggs all the time with a real good hatching rate, the reason I chose to buy these egg is to have hopefully a different breed of chicks/chicken If you raise chicks, then you know, if you only have one, there could be problems with stress, sickness, depression and so on. So I took a chance and put the one chick In a pen with a heat light with my other chicks that are two months old and all I can do is hope for the best. Yes, I did candle my eggs. The last time i candled was 23 days and there was nothing inside. Not fertile at all, so needless to says I won't buy eggs again from any place. It is a gamble, no Guarantee that any will hatch.I am grateful that I did get one,But what would have been extremely happy to get 2 or 3 Good luck for all of you That have bought eggs not just from here from other places as well.

I ordered 6 eggs only 4 made the cut so far there is movement I was sad about that we were really looking forward to hatching a sage egger or Araucana, that’s why I chose your eggs for the verity of chicks I would get our journey is not over yet we still have 4 that are moving and thriving in 6 days when they hatch I will post an update

After opening the package, I was immediately greeted by tons and tons of shredded paper which isn’t bad however once I dug deeper into the box, I ended up finding two wrapped bundles. After opening them I found that one of the eggs in the first bundle was cracked— Unfortunate but I’m guessing it’s because of the delivery. Thankfully the rest of the eggs were completely fine however I am a bit upset. The packaging of the eggs could be better— ie. using an egg carton and wrapping that instead of wrapping it in bubble wrap and tape, or even using styrofoam and digging out holes for them. So far my opinion is rather low, but I’ll make an update in about a week to see how viable the eggs are. I did get seven eggs so thankfully I still got six, however I am concerned that the packaging of the eggs may have lowered the eggs chance of survival. For now this is a 2/5 until I can make another update. Edit, same day — (01/07/25) Found another cracked egg while candling. A lot of the eggs don’t look viable save for one with veins. I don’t have much hope but hopefully the one with veins will make it. UPDATE!! (01/27/27) After almost a month of hoping and waiting, we have an update!! One of the eggs have popped and have managed to make a tiny window in its shell!! The one next to it has started to rock as well, meaning two was viable!! Before the 18th when I’ve been candling, I thought that only three at most were alive. I’m hoping that the three I saw veins in survive and hatch! I’m excited because I didn’t have much hope until now, wish the chicks luck this new year!
