    First official pip! Here we go! 😍

    I’ve actually counted 11 (of 26! 84% of the eggs incubated were still ticking along at the start of lockdown! 🙌🏻) hairline cracks… of COURSE the first obvious pip is at the wrong end though 🙄 Quail chicks: always working hard to die under even the most ideal circumstances! 😅 I’ll keep y’all...

    First incubator hatch, with shipped and local eggs

    Hi All! Been several years since I posted (when I first got chicks) but I figured I’d add catalog my experience of trying to hatch incubator eggs. I have a roo, so I let my Cochin sit on a clutch of 12 in spring of 2020. We ended up with 6 chicks! I didn’t separate “mama” so I think most of...

    Shipped Eggs Busted *Questions*

    Looking for advice on what to do. Today I got my shipped hatching eggs after 7 days of transit. Some arrived smashed and the box smelled really bad of course. I cleaned up the ones that weren’t cracked but I’m worried the eggs that survived the trip could have been contaminated by bacteria of...

    Bingo Egg Hatch-a-Long

    Just set my dozen eggs from the Chicken Poop Bingo and figured some of y'all might want to follow along. This is my first time hatching shipped eggs, so I'm really nervous about them. All 5 that I could clearly see into had detached air cells, so I'm hoping they'll be alright. I'm trying to...

    Advice for hatching shipped eggs?

    A Faverolle breeder is shipping me a dozen eggs tomorrow. They should arrive in a couple days. Looking for advice! I have only one incubator (circulated air Hovabator 1588), and an automatic turner that takes up all the bottom space (of course, I take it out for lockdown). If absolutely...

    Malpositioned? Chicken egg hatching

    I have shipped eggs that externally pipped this AM. I just checked again and noticed one of the chicks now appears to have its leg/foot over its beak. The hole is bigger, but it’s beak is now partially obscured when it wasn’t before. The egg is still rocking back and forth quite vigorously but...

    Shipped eggs- loose membrane

    Hello! First time hatching shipped eggs. Have hatched many of my own successfully. They were treated pretty rough, packed well, but really tossed around. 2 arrived broken and all the rest (24) either had fully detached, partly detached, or saddled air cells. I’m very excited to have 21 going...

    Egg pipped Facing down, do I intervene?

    This egg is the first pip, and day 21 is tomorrow. Here's a photo of the piece of shell that has fallen off. I know there is a pip hole here because I can kneel down and just barely see the chick's beak poking out and moving. I've not seen this happen before. Should I intervene?

    HELP!! SADDLE AIR SAC?

    My eggs are on day 4 of incubation. I ordered them from eBay. I candled them just to see if I could see anything yet. While I was candling, I noticed the air sacs lookd really big and oddly shaped. I’ve kept the temp at 99.5 and the humidity between 50-57 percent. They’re in an NR360, so they...

    Eggs with aircells on side - how best to position for hatch?

    I have 2 eggs from a batch of 6 which were a long time in the post and took a week to get to me. Right now these 2 are developing and wriggling but air cells come from the fat end of the egg right down one side. I am wondering which is the best way to position them for hatching?

    Saddle Sac! How should I lay the egg to increase likelihood of surviving hatch?

    Help!! I shipped Croad Langshan eggs 2700km and they were all scrambled from shipping except for one. This little guy, that I’ve named Bruce Lee (in hopes it’s good karma for him to “ninja” his way out of the shell) is on day 16. He’s pretty feisty when I candle him, but he does have a saddle...
