Ok here’s what happened… I have 2 incubators going. 1 for the “these are for sure good” and 1 for the “I can’t see well and not sure if it’s developing” About a week ago I had an egg explode inside my “unsure” incubator. My husband removed it before telling me and I figured by the time I...

I'm hatching my second round of eggs- put them in about 72 hours ago. I put them in my bedroom this time instead of the laundry room because I wanted to be able to watch them hatch more easily. However this evening I noticed that there is direct sunlight coming in on the incubator for a couple...

Clearly my daughter’s beloved hen, Addison, is, um….. the male version of Addison 😂

Hi everyone! I hatched 4 chicks 2 weeks ago. I also got 3 buff orpingtons from tractor supply the next day who I think are about 4-6 days older than them but I’m not sure. The orpingtons seem to be feathering out… oddly. I’m new to chickens so this could be normal but I thought I’d post a photo...

My chick hatched about 6 hours ago. I looked over and saw this… what is it?? Should I be worried about my other chicks? Not sure what to do! No food or eater yet. One other chick hatched right before this happened.

Hi! One of my eggs pipped on the bottom (toward the floor) about 10 hours ago. I just flipped it over and the membrane seems to be a bit yellow/brown. I didn’t realize I needed to turn it over I feel awful!! Should I be worried? Pic attached.

Hi! My chicks are due to hatch tomorrow ish. Can I zip tie them soon after hatch to track which one came from which egg or do I need to wait a certain number of days? Thanks :)

Hi! Me again lol. I’m on day 19 or 20 (put in incubator around 7/8pm on 2/1) My eggs have been rocking and rolling like CRAZY (one literally never stops) for about 3 days now. But… I’m not hearing any peeping yet. I know it could still be a little early, but I thought for sure I’d be hearing...

Hi all! On day 18 of our first incubator hatch!! I saw all of the eggs starting to move today right before I put them on lockdown. I took out the turner, upped the humidity (at about 65 trying to get 70/75) but is this kind of early to see movement?? Are they going to hatch sooner than day 21 or...

For context: I ordered hatching eggs from a small farm and had them shipped. They came yesterday morning and I let them rest for 12 hours then put them in the incubator. Very stable at 99.5 with 50-52% humidity. This morning I saw this clear/yellow ish ooze coming out of one of my eggs...

We are getting 20 chicks in a few weeks, and I figure we will end up with around 15-18 give or take. I'm trying to figure out the best brooder system. Is there a brooder that will get all of them to the point of going to the coop? (A fairly large shed that's been converted) or should I split...
