    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...

    Question about turning eggs

    Hello! I recently ordered a dozen shipped hatching eggs. I have a small automatic incubator that can only hold 12 eggs, but the seller gave me 2 extra in case any broke in transit. 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. She asked for a certain breed, which was totally okay fur us, since we wanted to hatch more than one breed anyway. In the end we could only...

    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...

    HELP Chick Not Absorbing Veins and Yolk

    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...

    Hatching emu eggs with a gqf incubator..

    So long story short the person I was going to get chicks from her eggs died so now I’m going to try a last ditch effort of hatching my own.

    Hello everyone, I inherited three (mallard) duck eggs (it's a long but cool story) and one has hatched! The little guy is out and waddling around the incubator. After week 3 candling we didn't feel one egg was alive but it's still in there just in case. The other candled fine and we are...

    Hatched chick doesn’t look well

    On my second time hatching, had a large americauna egg hatch. Needed intervention to zip the egg. Followed instructions from here and other websites. Now they don’t seem to be doing well. The chick seems larger than any other chick I have hatched. Anything I can do to help them out?

    Duck Egg — Day 30

    My son found this egg on the sidewalk at our city park. We wanted to give it a chance, so we incubated it. It seemed to have been developing appropriately—based on what I read online. However, today is either day 30 or 31 and it stopped moving as much. From what I could tell, there was no...
