    Hatching help appreciated!!

    It's zipping now! And talking to me quite a bit, definitely waiting as long as I can to intervene and hopefully it will make it out fine on its own. :-) Thank you!

    Hatching help appreciated!!

    So now it's been over 24 hours since the first pip and the other two poults have now pipped as well and the first egg is still moving but has still not begun to zip. I've read it can take up to 48 hours but of course I'm nervous. I dropped the temp a bit and raised the humidity to 70%, but these...

    Hatching help appreciated!!

    Thank you for your response. :) I will not be brooding them together, only incubating. They will be fed separately and no imprinting. ;-) I was concerned that if I have the humidity much lower than the incubator manual recommends, which is 55%, I would have issue, but it's a relief to know they...

    Hatching help appreciated!!

    Thank you for your response. :-) My independent Govee showed the incubator holding at exactly 99.5, I'm impressed with this incubator! Thankfully I dropped the humidity 4 days ago and the air cells are definitely bigger, and they're obviously breathing because they're talking to me. I upped the...

    Hatching help appreciated!!

    Hi there! This is my first time incubating turkey eggs and I'm concerned for them and would appreciate input from experienced hatchers... Info: Eggs were approximately 5 to 7 days old, stored properly big end up and cool, I put them in a Brinsea Ovation 28 EX at 99.5° and 55% humidity, and they...

    Broody hen with digestive issues? Please help!

    Hopping in on this thread because it's new. I've had several birds go broody over the years but I gave eggs five days ago to the mama who hatched out beautifully for me last year and first day her broody poop looked normal and ever since then she's had bright pink urates and diarrhea. I'm...

    Humidity and temp question, Nurture Right 360

    Hello, fine folks. Just hopping on a thread from last year to ask a question about egg turning. I loaned my incubator to some friends and gave them hatching eggs because they're interested in hatching out for the first time, and I wrote up a detailed document with some pictures to help them...

    DIY Chicken Feed

    It for sure does! We all keep chickens in such diverse climates and terrains. I do not know the OP's conditions so thought I'd put it out there. As someone who lives in different but tough conditions as well I am so aware how expensive it is to "terra form" as I call it, and sometimes it's a...

    DIY Chicken Feed

    I know this is about a year old, but in case it wasn't said thought I'd add that depending on what land your birds are on another budget-friendly hack is to get Red Rangers or another chicken breed that is known to forage on the land for a larger portion of its calories. I've also heard that...

    My chicken had avian mycobacteriosis/tuberculosis! What should we do?

    The state is where I got my hen tested and they didn't reach out at all, just emailed me the report. 🤷‍♀️ I can definitely ask them though, good idea. Thanks for your kind words and I'm sorry for your losses. ❤️
