If the eggs have not been allowed to freeze then fertility will not be greatly affected. If your hens are two years or younger and your rooster has red veining going up his legs and your ratio of hens to roosters is about 7 to 10 hens per rooster, you'll be fine.
Not true...... The ideal temp for fertile eggs (assuming that you want to hatch them) is above or at 50 degrees F. And the red veining doesn't indicate maturity in all breeds, only ones that carry the mahogony gene (i.e Rhode Island red)
The best temperature for hatching chickens or even ducks in an incubator is between 99.5F and 100.5F. The temperature is not the only consideration as the humidity must be right also.
Eggs should be at a 55% humidity rate through to the 18th day and raised to better than 65% during the final days.Chickens take 21 days from start yo hatch and ducks can take as much as 35 days.
An egg cannot die. Only the developing chick inside it. That aside, if an egg drops too low or too high above body temperature, the chick will die.
No, the temperature at which an egg is incubated does not determine the sex of a chicken. The sex of a chicken is determined by its genetics, with males having ZZ chromosomes and females having ZW chromosomes. Temperature can affect egg development and hatch rate, but not the sex of the chick.
Egg Peritonitis and Salmonella are the two diseases that can cause a chicken to lay a bloody egg shell.
No, it is not possible to hatch a chicken egg under your armpit. Chicken eggs require a specific and stable temperature and humidity level for successful incubation, which cannot be provided by the warmth of an armpit. It is best to use an appropriate incubator for hatching chicken eggs.
The incubation period for a White Leghorn chicken egg is approximately 21 days. During this time, the egg should be kept in a stable environment with consistent temperature and humidity levels to ensure successful hatching.
