day 19

Following the story of our Survivor. Backstory, Mama Noisy Girl went broody and we got her some Easter Egger eggs, yay! Thursday, March 14, we had some severe weather, and when I got home from work, I checked on eggs and noticed one had been crushed. I could hear a cheep, and honestly didn't...

Hello! This is my first experience with a Broody Hen. She’s a Rhode Island Red and in her own “nursery” area attached to the main run. I put the fertilized buff Orpington eggs under her on July 2 morning, so today- July 21- would be 19 days. We had an intense storm last night with tons of...

My broody hen is due to hatch her eggs any day now! She’s sitting on twelve eggs, and I had a nerve racking thought. Could any babies that end up hatching get squished by the other eggs? It’s pretty tight under there with all of the eggs, so while for example one of two have hatched and there’s...

hi there, my eggs are on day 19, yesterday i had the humidity way to high for lockdown. i let it be hoping it would lower over time, and it has the hydrometer of the incubator i am using says 76, i do not have an individual hydrometer and that is a fault on my side this is my first time using...

Anyone know what these two dark spots are inside of my egg, I Have 3 and this is the only one with them. My Apologies if it’s normal, this is my first time incubating eggs ever and I couldn’t find anything online about this. Thank you. EDIT: it kinda looks like they moved together idk

Hey! Help! Two days ago we noticed a few mites on our broody hen. She and her eggs are separated from the flock, but in just two days the mites are everywhere! What can I do that will be safe for the hen and eggs? I’ve got another “broody hotel” I can move her in, but should I wash her, wash the...

We are on day 19. I have only seen my broody voluntarily leave the nest maybe 3 times. I have been making her leave once a day to eat drink, stretch and poop. Now here is the issue. I know the whole thing about lockdown and don't want to make her leave if she shouldn't be, but I have to keep her...

Hi everyone, This is my first time incubating eggs, and sadly out of the 12, only 1 was fertilized and made it this far. We are on day 19, but the photo shows the air cell markings from day 18, just before I took the turner out of the incubator. I ran the incubator with much too high of humidity...

I haven’t found the answers yet in threads So I’m hoping someone has advice… My incubator was running at a very steady average of 99.5 Fahrenheit all through Incubation, only fluctuating by about .2 degree above or below for brief periods. I went into lockdown last night and raised the...

Hi all, I’m Sam, from Vermont, and I’ve got 8 eggs in my incubator, on day 19. No pipping yet, but I did have one active little one moving all around in it’s egg earlier this afternoon! Very excited, and a little nervous, this is my first time! Wish me luck!

Hi everyone! I'm on day 19 of my bantam eggs and yesterday was lockdown, I have a separate homemade still-air styrofoam incubator for lockdown. I moved them from my HHD forced air incubator to the homemade one. The temperature and humidity weren't going up before lockdown. So I changed the...

Hi, Hoping someone can help me. I'm on Day 19 of hatching some chicks and the humidity reader on the incubator is not working. I've added a damp cloth and an analog hygrometer (though cheap and unsure of the accuracy) in to the incubator, it is reading about 40% but I have condensation on a...

Hi all, At the moment I have 2 fertile frizzle eggs under one of my broody Silkie hens... today is day 19 and one of the eggs has started chirping. I know that at this stage I probably shouldn’t be candling the eggs, but this afternoon as I let the broody hen off of her nest to go to the toilet...

Omgosh I’m freaking out These are silkie eggs and it’s day 19!!!! I’m freaking out and also freaking out wondering if the egg is cracking right

I recently bought a dozen of Cotunix quail eggs and put them in the incubator. I waited 24 hours and went from there. Half of them ended up being fertile. It's now day 18, almost day 19, and I haven't seen or heard anything. I'm slightly concerned as to why they aren't internally pipping yet...

hi! So my 3 eggs that seem to have been growing are at day 19 now, almost at the end of the day. I haven’t noticed any movement or shell cracking yet, and put them in lockdown yesterday, I have a few questions about what I should do to make sure I don’t do anything wrong at this point. I’m not...

Is it okay that my latest hatch all hatched late day 19? They all seem to be happy healthy chicks, but I was surprised when they all started popping out!

Hi everyone! I'm new and just wondering if its normal for Jumbo cortunix quails to hatch later than normal? (17-19 days). There was an unfortunate overnight outtage on day 16, could that also have set the hatch day back by abit? They didnt die luckily from the outtage, flipped the bator back on...
