    Incubator recommendations?

    I’m looking for a new incubator! My budget is about $100, more or less. I’d like it to be automatically turning and preferably I’d like to be able to see the chicks while they’re hatching. All the reviews I’m reading on amazon are so terrible for all the incubators I look at. So I wanted to hear...

    Dead egg/embryo? Infertile egg?

    Hey all, this is my first time incubating eggs, and I have a few questions. I candled them today, day 7, and found one with a red ring all the way around a dark spot. I’ll add a pic? Did this embryo pass away? Also, another egg is freckly and hard to see but has what looks like a yolk, with no...

    Eggs hatching at different times- how should I do the turning?

    I was given 23 chicken eggs and 1 turkey egg to hatch for someone. Once the chicken eggs start to hatch how should I turn the turkey egg? For now I'm just thinking of speedily opening up the incubator to turn the turkey egg, but I'm still a little worried. I have the little giant incubator and...

    How long can eggs go without turning?

    I have two batches of hatching quail in two separate incubators. They are a day apart. I stopped turning the second batch a day early. I wasn’t thinking. Second batch is on day 18 with no hatches no cracks no movement. Are they all gone/dead? What do I do with the eggs? Did I mess up because...

    Quail eggs stopped developing, what could be wrong?

    My partner and I got 12 quail eggs to hatch, and 6 chicken eggs. Of the quail eggs, all but 1 began to develop, then they all stopped. They haven't been growing for a while, then we realized they had all died. The chicken eggs are still doing perfectly fine, with no issue. We have the chicken...

    Hey everyone, We were on the lookout for a cabinet incubator this year (because you can't have enough incubators!) and couldn't find a professional one for a reasonable price so we decided to make one. Got the wine cooler second hand for cheap, most other parts came from Amazon. -Danby...

    Pipping?

    So it’s Day 20 for my Bantam silkie eggs, i’ve noticed a ton of wiggling right now and i was wondering how long after a noticeable amount of egg movements does the chick start to pip?

    Day 21 no pips?

    This is my first ever hatch, only one fertile chick egg out of 4. I’m not seeing any Pips yet or hearing any chirping. The chick did seem to be very active as it has turned the egg itself almost completely around with all the wiggling inside the day prior. I am doing dry incubation so no...
