hi! this is my first time incubating duck eggs i had a batch of 7 pekins duck eggs and 4 were fertile at first then 3 died inside the shell a few days later only 1 hatched but it pipped a few days early and the shell was hard and the membrane was like paper and it was hard for the duckling to...

I’m in Texas and extreme weather has us by the huevos. Last night, my wireless thermometer reader sat at a comfortable 100 all day. A thunderstorm brought flash flooding, lighting, hail, and power outages. (Being my second time at this rodeo.) I made sure to keep the DIY incubator insulated...

I am new to hatching bobwhite quail eggs. I thought this whole hatch was going to be a dud because they took 4 days to arrive in mail and it was freezing out in Alaska. I’m seeing development at 4 days of incubation in almost all 43 eggs after setting for 24hrs. I’m curious if I should be seeing...

I can’t decide which Incubator to get, I’ve heard the Nurture Right 360 is great, but I don’t know if it had a wide enough range for my specifications. I’ve heard it does well with chickens, quail and pheasant, but I aim to hatch much larger eggs, like turkeys, peacocks and geese. Does it still...

The digital thermometer reads 99.5 degrees F while my own thermometer inside reads well over 102 degrees. I tried even manually lowering the temp to 98 in the hopes to level it out...

everyone needs an incubator if you’re going to hatch eggs. I don’t own any chickens currently, and haven’t for 3 years at least. Homing pigeons have become my newest interest. Amazon does have incubators, but some of the reviews say that the temperature spikes up to high, killing the chicks. I...

Hi all ive recently been incubating mille fleur bantam eggs from my own chickens (in with a male ofcourse) and had some live fertilised norfolk grey eggs given to me for incubation. All my mille fleur eggs are doing perfect in my incubator however, 4 out of 7 of the norfolk grey eggs have blood...

I am a newbie at chicken incubation. I have let my chickens hatch eggs but this is my second incubation. the first time around things didn't go well. I have a janoel 10 incubator. The first time around I learned a lot. I only had 2 out of 11 hatch, and BOTH were assisted. Both chicks are...
