    My First Hatch-Along (Character Themed)

    Hello everyone! I was originally going to wait until Day 5 in case absolutely none of these end up viable, but I'm hoping by committing now means there will hopefully be lots of life waiting in these sweet eggs. This is my first ever Hatch-Along. I was wanting to plan, and prep, and wait for a...

    Incubator experts please help!

    This is going to be a long question but I’d be very grateful if you stuck around to the end and offered your advice. Where do I even start? I purchased 3 dozen BCM Marans hatching eggs for $200 from a fantastic breeder a couple weeks ago. They are currently on day 17 and doing pretty good...

None of them broke, and I have 14 eggs to incubate. I managed to put all 14 in the incubator, but 6 of them are not...

    Hey, i hope my post isnt too long and at least somewhat understandable. A few months ago we planned to hatch chickens for us and also for a friend of us.

    How to integrate late hatched ducklings with others.

    Hello all, We let our 2 Khaki Campbells incubate their eggs. 15 hatched last weekend 5/31, but 2 of the eggs must have been rolled in from our other ducks late, since they didn’t hatch. I put them in a homemade incubator since the mothers abandoned the nest. They just hatched yesterday and...

    I found this chick pipped under the broody hen 26 hours ago. His beak was not at the pip location so I picked the egg up to investigate and the membrane was dry, there was no movement, and I didn’t hear any pips. I placed him in the incubator for a few hours while I did some research. I read...
