    Welcome #2 & #1 (in that order) - and a cautionary tale of eggs and chicks

    Well it was a long day yesterday, but I have two new chicks (one hatch went bad). The 30% hatch rate was right on point and against all odds. I decided last minute not to go with local Wild Type eggs and instead ordered eggs. I received 7 and they ended up being delayed two extra days (thanks...

    2 broody hens pooping in their nest, one with chicks. Help

    Okay, so we came back from our vacation and we had 2 broody hens both sitting on 12 eggs. I checked, they were fertilised and around 12 - 18 days between them. I never intended to hatch chicks this year, but we decided to hatch them anyway because they were so far along. I was told I needed to...

    Big Dessert-Themed Hatch-Along

    Here we go, round 2! The others have under 2 weeks left, and I'm excited! We had ordered 12 ultra rare potluck eggs from Cackle. A few were broken in transit (poor Silkie, 55 Flowery, Black Copper Marans, and... either a B or an R labeled on the last egg, I couldn't tell). But thankfully with...

    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...

    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...

    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...
