Hatching Egg Troubleshooting Guide
A practical guide to understanding your hatch, from preparing shipped eggs to candling, incubation, and hatch day. Select what you are observing to explore possible explanations and useful next steps.
Step 1 of 4
Which eggs are you incubating?
Select the bird type so the guidance reflects its incubation period and unique characteristics.
Step 2 of 4
When did you notice the concern?
Start with the stage that best matches your question. You can return and explore more than one topic.
Step 3 of 4
What best describes what you're seeing?
Choose the closest observation to see what to check and what it may mean.
Step 4 of 4
A few details, if you have them
These optional details help make the guidance more relevant to your hatch.
“Showing development” means eggs with visible signs of embryo growth. It is not the same as a confirmed fertility percentage.

This guide is educational and cannot identify one cause from a single observation. Fertility is checked routinely at the farm, but can change over time; visible development, infertility, and hatch success are different measures. This guide does not diagnose disease or determine order resolutions. If you have a question about your eggs, you can always get in touch.
