    Im so nervous!

    Day 7 into incubating Silkie eggs. Candled today and 2 out of 12 had blood rings so I removed. I thought it would be more clear to me if the others were doing ok but seems the air cells were too big, maybe some still detached?! I was nervous and wanted to get them back in right away. Eggs were...

    Shipped eggssss

    Hello, I have 13+ fertile chicken eggs arriving on Wednesday. I was wondering if I should let them sit for 24 hours before putting them in the incubator, or do I just put them in when they arrive? Thanks! Xoxo :wee

    Air cell filled with fluid - strategies?

    I need some suggestions to help some difficult fluid-logged eggs: I got two different sets of eggs shipped. One set was/is in horrible shape. I followed shipped egg guidelines (I believe it was a Sally Sunshine’s article/thread). I am on day 11 of incubation and air cells still have not...

    Incubating different sized eggs together?

    Hello :) I currently have 12 serama eggs going strong on day 13 in my Harris Farms 6100 still air (with auto rotation). I've got four thermometers and two hygrometers inside, set directly between my two rows of eggs so I can maintain 100-101F and 45-55% humidity. This is my very first incubator...

    First Hatching Experience. Serama and Japanese Bantam.

    Thank you so much @RainForestBird ! My shipped eggs arrived today. They were packaged beautifully. Unfortunately, USPS not only took them on a scenic route, but they also bounced them about a bit. Even though they only had to cross one state line, it took them four days to get here. They were...

    Predetermining rooster to hen ratio in hatches

    So we generally hatch more roosters than hens but this season we have so far hatched 7 confirmed and 2 suspected roosters out of 9 hatched chicks. That seems spectacularly unlikely. Does anyone have any similar experiences? Is it luck of the draw or, for example, are roosters more hardy in the...

    Ok...I ordered 2 dozen shipped silkie eggs. I was concerned about viability due to the fact that one box came smashed in on one side and the other carton was upside down in the box. Last night was night 6 and I decided to candle just 2 eggs from each batch to see if any were developing, all four...

    What Would You Do? Giving shipped eggs to broody bantam.

    Monday I excitedly received 48 Barred Rock eggs from B.C. Canada. I let them sit 48 hours and they have been in my incubator ever since. So that would make 2 full days in the incubator without rotation. Today my good mama Bantam Wyandotte Golden Lace hen went full blown broody on me again. She...

    I just received my meat Maker Brown Cornyx Quail fertile eggs. They are absolutely beautiful! :love I am going to be incubating them, but something just occurred to me.

    Trying to count my chickens before they hatch!

    So I know that shipped eggs have a lower hatch rate than local or home grown eggs. I’m trying to find out how many of our eggs to expect to hatch. I have 24 ayam cemani eggs in the incubator that so had shipped to me in Oregon from the east coast. I candled them after three days and saw definite...

    Recently, a few people asked me how I packaged hatching eggs, which materials are best for cushioning, how I kept it cost effective, and what carrier I used. So I made my first how-to video!

    Stabilizing aircells on shipped eggs

    I am wondering if anyone out there has ever tried waiting longer than 36 hours to set shipped eggs? My question is really, if the aircells are unstable will time alone fix this(just sitting fat end up), or does the start of development of a embryo actually need to happen to have it stabilize? I...
