This was just NASTY! Something NEW is Hatching on the Farm today!
What happens here
Fertilized eggs are essential for hatching. You can source hatching eggs from your own flock (if you have a rooster), neighbors, or online marketplaces like eBay. When preparing eggs for incubation, ensure the small side of the egg is pointing downwards in the incubator. This positioning is crucial for the air sac, which is located at the larger end, to remain at the top, allowing the chick to breathe properly as it develops.
Goal: Obtain viable fertilized eggs and correctly position them in the incubator.
