I hatched 2 out of 39. But we have some fertility issues. We threw out 19 on day 7 that were clear and I can't actually candle my darker eggs, but turns out most of them weren't fertile either. Out of 39 I had 12 that were definately fertile. My husband thinks getting the auto turner will help...

How long do you leave them in the incubator after they hatch? I had one hatch (finally) around 2 this morning but he's still pretty damp (looking) should I leave him a while longer? So far I only have one hatch, but I have a second pip

There was a couple times throughout these 3 weeks when my temp dipped down a 2-3 degrees. Im really happy to hear peeping. And you're right being side tracked was a huge help. Admittedly I spent most of Friday and Saturday standing over my incubator

I was calling this hatch a scratch. 21 days was at noon yesterday. No movement. No pips no noise. Figured I'd give them a couple days and then scratch it Got home from Easter with my family and I can hear peeping from the incubator. I only see one pip but it sure is a vocal little chick...

No pips or movement from my eggs but it's only day 19. I have to work tomorrow so will be gone from 230pm-130am. Hopefully they don't hatch while I'm away

Thank you I'll do that now.

Dumb question. I have an egg that is leaking goo and my incubator smells really bad when I open it. I couldn't candle that egg cuz it was too dark. Do I take it out and throw it? This is my first hatch.

Lock down is today and now I'm nervous. What if none of these eggs hatch? Waiting is the worst part

Omg I'm so sorry. If probably be sitting out next to the smoldering coop bawling.

It's always been like that since I got him at 3 days old last year. He still perches and walks but when he runs its kind of a gallop. He's pretty sweet and I don't think it hurts. I hold him and play with his weird feet and he doesn't seem to care. Just wondering if I should worry about it

It's easier to see on the deck. Sorry my phone was misbehaving.

I have a question. I have a roo who has weird feet. Any idea why his feet look like this?

I have one that got told the other day he's about to head to freezer camp. He attacked me then my husband (who's like a giant so I don't know what that chicken was even possibly thinking) but then he attacked my 7 year old when he was out getting eggs. Ferdinand (the rooster) and I watch each...

I have 3 roosters over 20 hens. They are all right at a year old (10-14 months). I'm not really sure which one is dominate. I have one that I see do the majority of mating (well the first time) but a different one will run the other 2 off on a regularly. I may have to spend some time watching...

I think I have a fertility issue. I set 19 white eggs, only 6 of those are fertile. I set 15 brown eggs and 5 green eggs but I can't see inside them very well. Should I be worried? Maybe it's just early and fertility will pick up?

I got an incubator this year and my husband has gotten really into the hatching part. Which is funny because he thinks the majority of my chickens are a pain.

Very true. I just wanted more colored eggs. One of our free chicks last year is an Easter egger and she leaves me pretty green eggs. I love the variety in our eggs cartons. White, light brown, dark brown, and some green. I would love to add a couple blue layers to our flock. Maybe some more...

Thank you everyone. I believe after some research they you may all be right. Happy dance. Silver laced wyandottes are pretty

I actually really wanted some ameracaunas this year but the feed store didn't order them and a minimum ship order is 25 and my husband will not be happy if 25 more baby chicks show up. I already had 3 in the brooder (8 now) and 39 eggs in the incubator. But these were so cute I couldn't pass them by
