Both my ducks seem to be crushing and cracking their own eggs. Separate nesting boxes. I grabbed 2 of 6 out of the one ducks nest (the other 4 were fine) All 6 are moving and I can see their little beaks in the air cell. So any day now I'm hoping to have little ones running around. However the...

I've always been an incubator of eggs so I'm used to those guidelines. I've only had one Buff Orp lay and hatch eggs, but I was not around for the process..she took off one day and actually thought nature got ahold of her until almost 2 months later showed up with 14 babies. Lol. Okay, I...

I only make it up to my land every 6 days (my neighbors help out with watering and food) but last week there was 12 eggs in a nest. I thougt for sure today when i came one of my 3 hens would have went broody and be sitting on the nest. Well to my surprise not only were they not nesting but now...

So i pull in my drive way about 20 minutes ago and saw a huge wild tom outside my turkeys pen. At first I thought "oh cool, my turkeys are driving in wild turkeys"...until I saw the damage. The turkey quickly scattered off into the brush, I looked in the pen and there was blood drops all over...

So, my digital thermometer that sits on the screen floor of the incubator reads 100* but the 2 thermometers I have resting on top of eggs read 102*. So which one do I go by? They are bigger eggs (turkey) so they are closer to the heating element.

So, I am new to incubating silkie eggs. I just recieved 12 eggs today and they are set to go in the incubator and join my turkey eggs tomorrow morning. My question is, since the egg is so tiny will the chick be MORE tiny than the average chick? I can't wrap my head around how teeny tiny they...

Everywhere I read I get different answers on humidity for turkey eggs. My last batch was typically at 40-45% throughout the incubation and 60% for lock down ( I couldn't get it any higher than that no matter what I tried!!) So, my question is, what is your humidity at both incubation and lock...

SO my first incubation experience didn't go so well. Actually, everything went great until hatch day. 3 of my 4 turkey eggs died in the shell, and the one that actually made it out (with assistance) died today. So just about 20 minutes ago I set 14 new eggs. I've read so much about the "dos"...

My few hour old turkey poult has something bulging from, what looks like to me, the butt. When it peeps it looks like it pushes out more, then sucks back in. It's red in color. It was bleeding when it first hatched, but no longer is now...just pinkish red. I can't tell if it's from the butt or...

I just got back from a 3 day vacation, my eggs are due to hatch TODAY but I just noticed they were set UPSIDE DOWN!!!!!!!!! How stupid of me, don't know WHAT I was thinking!!!!! I quick put them on their side, out of the egg carton I had them in, and candled one...that one is still moving...Is...

I have 4 Black Spanish Turkey eggs set to lockdown this Friday, this is my first time incubating eggs , so far so good, all eggs are looking good. I doubt I'll find anyone locking down turkey eggs on the same exact day as me, but chicken eggs or any other kind of egg is just as good. I'd love to...
