I know they usually hatch around mid morning sue but most of ours hatched quite late in the day so fingers crossed still. I hope the weather isn't to cold were you are, it's only 2 degrees here today and snow is expected later, it must be a problem for people with birds outside this time of year...

My budgie shed is heated Lesley and stays between 11 and 14 degrees through the winter. Fingers crossed I hope I get a chick soon. Sue

Second egg not hatched either.my double factor hen is not doing very well at all.this is her second round,the cock kept feeding the babies wrong and they died the other eggs were full but never hatched and the remaining few that were half formed were abandoned. I think she needs to go.i will keep the cock bird but I think she is just not cut out to be a mum. My Lutino hen is due an egg tomorrow so we can see if that will hatch or is that going to be the same.i am now wondering if I have some kind of bacteria in my aviary. I have air flow,heat between10-14 degrees plus all the other usual breeding conditions. Never had this problem before.why aren't my eggs hatching? Sue

It's not good Sue. I am sorry it is this way for you currently. Were these fertile eggs?

Yes bb they were all fertile.the four I threw away today were fertile but half grown as she abandoned them again.i have put her and the cock back in the main flight and opened the eggs to see half formed chicks but very smelly and a funny colour. I have eight eggs now that are fertile and they are under the Lutino who they belong to.we will see what happens tomorrow. 😏😏 Sue
