    Incubator says day 3 when it’s set to be day 5?? Egg turner shut off early will the eggs be okay?

    I’m using a brand new kebonnixs incubator I just bought and while I set it by hand to have one more day than the pre-set amount of days (because I ran it without eggs for 24 hours as a test) it’s still acting as if I didn’t add a day and saying there’s 3 days left. But when I go to change it...

    Duckling With Overlapping Legs!

    Hi everyone, I have a mallard duckling with protruding hips which causes him to keep his paws on top of each other when standing still. He struggles to move and trips because of this malformation. I hatched two broods inside a homemade incubator and three ducklings had crooked necks which I...

    HOW TO BUILD CHICKEN INCUBATOR WITH AUTOMATED EGG TURNER

    DETAILS I decided to build a homemade chicken incubator to hatch baby chicks when it's convenient to do so. It allows us replace our layers as needed without depending on a hatchery or a broody hen. Building a homemade incubator is not that difficult, but it could be a tad bit time consuming...

    PLEASE HELP! Eggs dying before hatching?

    I have hatched peacock eggs for a couple of years now and have always had good hatch rates. Usually I have a 90% hatch rate but lately I have had about 25%. Pretty much all of the eggs are fertile and seem healthy right up till it’s time to hatch and then they die. They don’t even internally...

    There's 28 of them!

    First timer; scrambled to get an incubator together after my wonderful drake Allfather disappeared early Friday morning of the 19th of May 2023. I did a quick check at six days and had three out of three 'starters'. Much to my amazement, I didn't have a 'yolker' until number 25. So, out of 29...

    Duck Embryos Dying late in Incubation

    we’ve been trying to incubate duck eggs for about two and a half months now with no success. We have gotten to day 26 and then the ducklings would just die. The temperature we’ve tried incubating them at is 37.5 degrees Celsius and the humidity is 50%. We’ve had about 15 fertilised eggs that...

    Experimental Dehydrator Hatching - I'm doing it!

    May 18th, 2023 I plunked 15 eggs into a dehydrator to see if they'll hatch. I had commented on another post about this and I don't want to put my updates there. But there are updates to tell! Today is day 8, as of midnight May 26. Early this morning I candled some of them and saw... Oh man! I...

    Incubating disaster…

    So we started off with 52 eggs. Candled them around day 7. After the candling it narrowed down to 40 that were developing. From day 1-17 we had temp at 99/100 and humidity at 50-55%. The incubator that is being used has a fan and is self-turning (turns eggs every two hours). The incubator has...

    Question about incubator

    Hello :) Right now I am hatching Bantam Chicken eggs and I am using this circulating air incubator for the first time. The eggs are sitting on these manual turning tubes that work as a turning tray and the air is coming from under them. Where the air is coming out from there is a temperature...

    Incubator advice for ducks and Turkeys

    I have had ducks for a few years, and finally bought an incubator last year. I had a very low hatch rate, on my first try, but my ducks were 5 years old and I’m pretty sure that was the biggest problem w my first attempt. I was given a dozen duck eggs a few weeks ago from a friend who has the...

    How many species can be hatched at once?

    My Animal Science teacher is planning to hatch quail٫ ducks٫ Muscovy ducks٫ and chickens all in the same incubator. Will anything be able to hatch with all of the temperature٫ humidity٫ and incubation period differences? I told her I had fertile duck and bantam eggs٫ but would rather hatch them...

    KEBONNIXS vs. Brinsea

    I've tried hatching with a farm innovator digital series 4250 twice with no luck and I'm debating on getting a new incubator. I don't want to get the first one I see this time (lesson learned), and so far I've seen good reviews on both of these. Does anyone have any experience?

    Problems with Brinsea OvaEasy 380 floor

    Hi guys, It been a while, unfortunately I sold all my hens and my hatching business because I had to focus on my Alevels. But I still have my Brinsea OvaEasy Incubator in my garage sitting there collecting dust. So I decided to sell it, upon doing so realised that the metal on the floor of the...

    Should I pull the egg???

    One Sebastopol gosling egg is VERY narrow. Its pointy end is pointy. Considering that the female is barely a year old, should I remove that egg??? I've never had to cull a chick and am concerned that the gosling that grows in the narrow shell might not develop properly. Does anyone have any...

    Could i have saved this chick?

    I recently hatched 4 healthy chicks. 2 hatched day 20 (saturday) and 2 hatched day 21 (sunday). Today is day 22 and the 5th and final egg pipped around 10am. I patiently waited all day. Only saw a little progress. (See first photo). About 30 minutes ago I went to check on the egg and didn't see...

    Do you need to turn on the incubator early?

    I have the NR360. I’ll be getting hatching eggs in the next couple days. I read the instructions so I understand how to turn on and use, but my question is, do you have to turn it on early or preheat it? Or do I wait until the eggs are in?

    I decided to try to hatch my own chickens and because I put a lot of factors into this hatch and I feel I could help others with questions concerning a hatch. I am by no means suggesting I’m a pro now 😂 BUT I went into this a complete newbie! Prior to incubation I researched sexing eggs, sex...

    Nurture right 360 temp issues

    On day 7 of a very very special clutch of eggs. The NR360 has been going okay - temp bounces a little bit but typically stays steady at 99.7. Today it’s either 100 or 99.1. I can’t get it to stay anywhere in between. Doesn’t help that you can only adjust the temp the incubator is set at by .5...
