    Incubation Tips

    Hello, so after my unsuccessful hatch the first time, I want to try again. I have no idea where it went wrong - when we broke open the egg, the yolk wasn't fully absorbed but it just never pipped (I do have pictures but unsure if I should post because it's rather messy). Is there any tips on...

    First Incubator - Maticoopx30 - Practice?

    Hello all! I decided to splurge and got us the Maticoopx30. It's my first ever incubator! I've been eyes deep in research the past few days, and intend to continue through it deeply the next few months.

    Day late egg, hasn’t pipped yet, still alive.

    This duck is a day or two late, hasn’t pipped yet but I can see movement inside the egg. I opened up the shell and not sure if he is shrink wrapped or not. Should I open the membrane or wait?

    Duck eggs on lockdown, one’s a strange color.

    The greyish color is what I’m talking about. I moved the egg farther away from the rest in case is is rotten. I also candled it and the duck looks just as developed as the rest. Is this cause of concern of it turns that color?

    urgent—baby chick question

    Hey everyone, We have a chick that hatched a few days early. She’s a Buff Orpington/Silkie cross. The other eggs passed candling tests, so we expect them to hatch, but in the meantime, our current early-bird is distressed. I’m going to call local farm stores to see if they have chicks in the...

    No signs of pipping after first hatch

    Hello, this is my first time incubating eggs. The first one hatched around 28 hours ago. It's Day 20 today, and I've been checking consistently and none of the other eggs seems to be pipping. I don't believe I heard any noises or movements from them, either. Should I be worried? I was told that...

    Duck egg pip too smal?!

    My two ducks got picked off by a fox 28 days ago. I had some eggs so I put them in an incubator and one has already pipped! It happened over 12 hours ago and no progress. I would not be worried but the pip is so so so small I am worried that it is not getting any oxygen. Here is a photo and...

    Question about Incubating Bantam Eggs

    Hey I have a maticcoopx (20 egg) incubator, I have currently been using it just as a backup for if a broody hen abandons the nest (or leaves some eggs after the first chicks hatch). I want to attempt to incubate my bantam eggs in it now but before I do I wanted to get some information on what...

    Guess the day! Silkie egg

    I've been working on a functional incubator a little over a month and it's finally at least not cooking the eggs 🙃 This is one I almost threw away from the second to last batch (all the others were Definitely dead) so it's older than the rest but I have no idea by how much. I'm just keeping a...

    Turkey egg rocking on day 20?

    I’ve raised a lot of chickens, but I recently got ten turkey eggs that I am trying to incubate. Everything was going fine up until now. I have a batch of chicken eggs in a second incubator that are on day 20, and several have popped of those. But as I was looking in the incubator, I noticed a...

    Maxicoop vs ChickCozy

    Does anyone have experience with both? What are pros and cons? I'd you had to recommend only one. Which would it be?

    Early Silkie Pip

    Hey! First time incubating, and was wondering if this is normal. Eggs were put in on the 28th of April, and last night at around 12am I noticed one of the chicks has knocked off a piece of his shell. Since then, now 6pm the following day, he has made little progress but continues to chirp every...

    Turkey hen moved some eggs but left others…

    It looks like Smokey moved part of her nest. I know this because there were over 10 turkey eggs, I caught a glimpse when she ran out for a dine n dash the other day. And now it looks like there are only like 3-4, plus a bunch of duck eggs. And obviously there is at least one bad one there if not...
