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...

Should I move it or can I keep it where it is?

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...

So far he is super sweet! That’s so cute that yours takes care of his girls so well 😭 I’m pretty sure we have another roo in this bunch too who is even prettier 😳 Just need more hens 😂

Lol!! It really does stink!! Maybe we will keep him if he’s nice 😅

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...

I’m trying to relax 😅😅 first hatch has me stressing lol!!! The chick soaked it all up in its fuzz 🥴 do I need to do anything about it now or is it ok to leave until the rest hatch?

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.

Ok thank goodness thank you!!! She’s still chirping and moving as of now :)

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 :)

I know I’m pretty happy that 6 made it to lockdown! I really really hope they all hatch! But we shall see!! Lol my excuse is that shipping ruined 5 and I screwed something up that made those other 2 die 😭

They’ve been on lockdown for 2 days now! That photo was from right before I set them! Ok thank you!! I started with 15 eggs and now have 6 on lockdown :-/ 3 cracks, 2 detached air cells, 1 not fertilized, and 2 that stopped developing around day 8-10

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...

I set them flat but the air cells on some are suuuuuper saddled

I didn’t pay attention to air cell placement when I put on lockdown this morning. Should I candle them now and place the larger part of the air cell up?

One of them is moving soooooo much more than the others I was joking that this chick will be the crazy one lol

Yay!! I’m so excited!!! Most of the eggs are blue/green so I couldn’t see ANYTHING except a black area the entire time except for in 1. But then today all of them had movement which was such a relief!!

Ok thank you so much!! I was a little worried seeing the movement this early but glad to know it’s normal :)
