I’ve been loving on everyone’s posts with their adorable chicks waiting for mine to finish hatching!! Thankfully we finished on Sunday :celebrate Only had to help 2 chicks in total out of everyone that hatched, only after they externally pipped. The ones that didn’t make it to hatch...

I got so excited about everyone’s posts about their chicks and posting my chicks, that I forgot to update on Incubator B (ft C :lol:)! Out of 70 set eggs (2 incubators), we have another 26 going into lockdown today! More babies to come for Saturday :jumpy Only two had to be taken out from this...

Incubator A had finished hatching on April 1st! Look at all these cute Easter Eggers/Blue Eggers :love Baby #6 was an assisted hatch as the chick popped halfway down the shell towards the pointed end of the egg. External pip happened over 12 hours before I assisted. Initially, all I did was...

So far as of last night at 9:27PM, babies #3 and #4 had made it out of their shells! With #5 making it out while I was sleeping and #6 having their external pip being done last night halfway down the egg. It’s the middle egg in the photo, you can tell above the calcium deposit that’s where the...

Of course I was sleeping when baby #2 decided to make an appearance! This is the CCL egg and can definitely tell by the down feathers, a little light partridge coloured! This one actually may have a beard as well which means it’s most likely covered by the Wheaten Ameraucana rooster I had while...

It’s happening!!! We have baby #1 as of 11:40PM March 30th, Happy Easter everyone!! :jumpy:wee This one is from a Wheaten Ameraucana egg based on the down and that it looks as if it might have a beard/muffs :love I ended up moving baby #1 and the other two eggs that have started to pip into a...

My internet has been hit and miss these last few days and I was out of data to do updates and catch up on everyone’s posts :barnie Incubator A with the blue eggs went into lockdown the other day and we already have one working on an external pip!! I’m so excited for fresh babies again, I can’t...

Incubator C did better than Incubator B for candling on Day 05, I’ll say that much.. Although I didn’t give myself the best chance with viability due to me holding the eggs longer than should be kept, it’s still not a half bad number considering one hens eggs weren’t viable at all due to her not...

I told myself I’d candle the other two incubators tomorrow night but I’m too antsy…I want to candle them now! :rant Day 04 today for Incubators B and C, Day 10 for Incubator A .. going to candle those ones again close to lock down to hopefully not risk loosing the ones we have strongly...

How does the NR360 work compared to the Brinsea 56EX? The Brinsea I’m using has an auctio magic dropper for humidity levels, basically a set and forget type model. Wondering if the NR360 needs water added periodically by hand or if it’s got something similar to the Brinsea? Do you only check...

Update on Incubator A on Day 08! Pulled 2 quitters with the red ring, two others had the same state the now red rings were in on the first candling so I pulled them as no veins were present just a dark settling to the bottom of the yolk area The photos aren’t the greatest quality with life in...

10 for sure viable eggs in Incubator A, there’s a few more but with the thick shells I have to check again a few others again just to be sure. It’s all blue eggs in that one! I finally got all my eggs set for this hatch-along and boy oh boy I hope everyone is ready for the updates on them all...

I did set one of the incubators today finally though after some struggles with getting everything to proper levels .. dropped a blue egg I had for this set but thankfully they’ve been my most productive layers this season so far :oops: Since some troubles with one of the incubators not working...

Thank you all for your information and experiences on this incubator and the other 28 egg style! I appreciate any information I can gather on them before I make my purchase later this year hopefully :fl It’s the Ovation 28 EX incubator I’ll be trialling! I got the manual today online since I...

May I ask why? I’ve been gathering experiences on different incubators to make the right choice on what I finally purchase for myself and so far everyone has had nothing but positivity towards the Brinsea brand. I’d love to know more about a con you face with one of their models! I’ll be...

I don’t want to fill this thread with photos of him so I’ll only send one! He is no longer apart of my flock, but I have his daughters and the hen they came from. He was far too flighty of a rooster and his sons followed too closely in his footsteps to keep either unfortunately! They looked...

I am late to the party but I’ve been collecting some of my flock’s eggs to set for the HAL! Currently only setting chicken eggs … if the guineas will give me some eggs before the end of the warm weather I can try to hatch them this year :fl It’ll be my second time hatching eggs out, hopefully...
