When do you guys decide to interfere with a chick hatching? I have one that pipped last night and hasn’t hatched yet. I know this is normal but it hasn’t been chirping or moving like all it’s siblings did. I’m afraid it’s week or something. I can see the beak moving but not doing anything.
Hello I’ve been ordering and incubating my own eggs from offline for 4 years now . Never would I have imagined to get a double yolk
Egg let alone fertile ! I know the odds are against me for hatching success . But I’ll stick with it until the end . A miracle if it happens .
So I managed to pick up one of those cheap 12-egg incubators (sold under lots of different brand names, or none at all) -- just like this one:
And I bought it for a song, which is great, but it's somewhat incomplete, which is not so great, but possibly not a big problem. It's easier to list...
25 chicks hatched!! Yay. Hoping more do. See a few have pipped. One is trying to break shell.

Super exciting...
Quail.

We were so over joked and excited. When I pulled the tiny carton from the box the little eggs were so cold. Of course it's winter. My heart...
10 little duck eggs waiting to hatch. In lockdown.
Someone recommended glass gems or stones to better regulate heat. I have a large glass mug and three shot glasses. They also are holding water for humidity.
As always the incubator was full cleansed after last use.
Trying to watch the temp &...
So I had it all planned. Lol
One incubator, one crappy Styrofoam back up and as lockdown hatcher.
I had both set up to incubate eggs... then our eggs got the boot from the good incubator to make way for quail eggs. So...
We debated about buying another Styrofoam incubator --> but in all...
My hubby's aunt sent us some quail eggs. Yay!!! We had some extra room in the incubator so
-->> thankfully a local(ish) farm had some more. Incubator full now.
And of course... I can't be trusted, so we got quail chicks too!! Lol
