At what temperatures do eggs hatch in an incubator?

The Chook Shed - Frequently Asked Questions
If the incubator has a fan to circulate the air, you want it at 100F. If the incubator is still air then you need to have the temperature at about 103F measured at the TOP of the eggs. In this kind of incubator, you will need to make sure that all the eggs are the same size or else the bigger ones will get too hot and the smaller ones will be too cold. Don't forget to turn the eggs at least three times each day and to make sure you have a water dish always filled for humidity. Good luck!

Can double yolk eggs hatch?

Do you recommend letting grouse eggs hatch under broody bantams?

Q
Answer: My simple answer would have to be no, but bear in mind that in a few cases I've accidentally forgotten a hatch and had it turn out alright. I do, however, consider those cases to be the exception, rather than the rule. Some bantams seem to sense, probably due to the hatchling's vocalizations that they are not chickens and will proceed to kill or desert the chicks.

I have a pair of discus that spawn but always eat their fry once the eggs hatch. What can I do?

Discus Land: FAQ, Discus, Discus tanks, Discus Breeding, Dis...
If they're a new "couple", give them a few chances to "get it right". First-time discus parents often don't figure out what to do for the first few spawns. If this doesn't work, you might try removing one parent and seeing if the other one will take care of the fry. If both parents are eating the fry your only real choice is to raise thr fry artificially, but this is a lot of work and they require constant attention. Jack Wattley describes how this is done in one of his books.

How do I hatch baby brine shrimp?

Frequently Asked Cichlid Questions
Hatching baby brine is relatively easy. You can go the your local pet store and buy a hatching kit which includes brine shrimp eggs and a hatcher and follow the included instructions. Purchase a brine shrimp net if one is not included in the kit. You can also build a hatcher of your own out of a one-gallon jar with an airstone or as I do, use an inverted 3-liter bottle with air feeding from the narrow neck. I cut the bottom out of the bottle and save as a cover.

This question has not yet been answered. Animal studies indicate that, in some instances the viability of frozen eggs may decrease over time. Human egg freezing is relatively new.

Frozen human sperm have been shown to remain viable and capable of producing healthy pregnancies for decades.
