I put shelf liner down in my incubator and now my eggs have weird marks on them
Oh dear, those lumpy egg impressions are a bit unsettling, aren't they? It sounds like you stumbled into a bit of *fowl play* with that shelf liner! While seemingly a clever way to prevent egg-rolling, certain shelf liner materials can react with the eggs, leaving those marks—and potentially impacting humidity levels critical for proper development. It’s best to ditch the liner; manually turning the eggs, though a bit trickier, is the safer route. Don't chickening out on the manual turning! It's a small price to pay for healthy chicks. Speaking of chicken behavior, if you're also dealing with a feathered friend who enjoys blocking doorways, you might find some relatable insights in our article, “Ginger, the Great Door Blocker.”

But Day 5 brought a cluck-tastic surprise: all but one egg revealed a thriving, moving embryo with visible veins! Seems Dad’s hour-long lecture about dashed hopes might need a rethink, especially since a $10 bet was involved. Talk about fowl play! This just goes to show, even mini-fridge-stored eggs can hold some incredible secrets. For more tales of unexpected poultry surprises, check out "The Problem Child" – you won’t want to miss it!
