Guide to Assisted Hatching for All Poultry

Good info thanks

This explains so much! Thank you for the detailed breakdown!

Its a good article.

Great article. Going through this as I write this review. She (until proven otherwise) got herself out within minutes of creating a safety hole.

Although I have never and have no plans to hatch babies, I am very curious about the process. Good work putting this article together.

Excellent article. Very informative and well-written.

I used your article in 2019, when I did my first try on brooding chicks in an incubator and out of 6 eggs 5 lived and gave us 3 hens laying wonderful eggs and 2 roosters. It was so helpful and thorough it gave me the perfect confidence to try, and I had to help them to be hatched fully. I will try again this spring and was so happy to find this article still posted here. 5 years, one forgets how it goes...
thank you BYC for keeping this post!

Very informative and helpful! Went in depth which was much appreciated!

Loved it! Thank you so much for sharing this information

Well detailed article!

First I read the article about embryo development, then I read this article. I would pay to go stay for a month or a year to learn more! The wealth of knowledge, the willingness to share this knowledge is amazing.
To put a safety hole in every egg is brilliant.
Removing the shell of the egg sack to see what is wrong is also brilliant. It allows you to see inside without risking harm to the chick. Covering the membrane with coconut oil to prevent shrink wrap also brilliant.
Yes, I’m using the word ‘brilliant’ a lot. That’s because this is a brilliant article.
I think the embryo development article & this one should be included with every incubator!

This is an amazingly informative document and I thank you.
Our chickens do hatch their own but frequently the chicks struggle and I think it’s because the humidity is just not good enough… the hutch perhaps too hot and no humidity beyond the mother. We have had to help in the past but this really shows you how to do it safely. Thank you
The chicks we have helped have all been absolutely fine.

Thank you for making this post, and thank you @Nabiki for sending me the link

Thank you so much for this detailed guide! It is a life saver.

This article contains everything I was wondering about, and more. Thank you SO much for taking the time to create this resource.

Thank you for your detailed, kind, guide! It is very helpful.

Very helpful information!

Great article, very helpful with my hatch

I found this article very interesting and I am certainly not disappointed that I read it, however I found that the author used jargon assuming that everyone would know what is been referred to. An example is the word 'zip' - having read through the article I still do not know what it means. But overall the article was informative. Thank you.

Thank you for this article! My little BM is out and Chirping away!
