    Already heading into this at a significant disadvantage. I posted a few months ago about late button quails, which all unfortunately failed.

    Hen didn’t lay on 22 day old eggs over night

    Hi, so my hen hatched a baby chick 2 days ago. Last night she didn’t lay on the eggs left. Will they be ok now that she’s on them again today or did I lose them? One is pipped and I can hear some chirping but the rest are still whole with no pip. Thanks!

A few hours after it pipped, is started oozing this yellowish-green liquid. Upon looking closer, there is a quarter size puddle of it in the water tray under...

    Is humidity a worry when using a broody?

    Hi, there! One of my hens went broody, it's her first time, and we decided to give her some fertile eggs to hatch. The eggs are do late next week to early the week after. We've never used a broody, and I've never successfully hatched on my own to begin with. So my question is do I have to worry...

    Which of these are viable ?

    Day 7… I’m having a hard time figuring out which are duds. Obviously 1 there is no embryo, correct? The rest I can see little the little black dot and veins, however, I can’t differentiate between air sacs and blood rings.

    Abnormal air sac from high humidity - please help.

    Hello hatchers, I am currently on day 16 with a batch of chicken eggs. I candled last night and saw good development and movement in most, but almost every single one had a very small, nonexistent, or abnormally placed air sac. They were shipped, but I let them sit for about 36 hours before...

We've been trying to hatch a duckling for nearly 3 months now and haven't managed to hatch one. The Ducklings/Embryos develop well and always look healthy inside of the egg. Yet, when...

    Nurture 360 lessons learned

    Just finished Spring hatch, with some ups and downs. Ups 1) Repurposed gardening/greenhouse heat mats under the incubators because the laundry room/hatching room cools overnight. They're waterproof, rugged, and I had no fire hazard worries. 2) Read on this site, about the rotating the eggs from...

    Day 21

    I'm on day 21 (starting from the first 24 hours) incubating some barnyard mix babies and I'm getting worried because on day 18 the air cells looked fine to me (this is my second time hatching ever, my first attempt was unsuccessful) but I didn't see any movement in any of them. To be fair...

    Help! Quail was stuck in egg for 10+ hours so I helped it out and now I'm worried.

    Disclaimer: this is my first time raising and hatching quails. Last night around 7-8 pm (day 17 of lockdown), one of our eggs in the incubator was zipping and I could see its beak. I then went to bed believing it would get itself out eventually. Fast forward to 1pm the next day, I noticed it...

    Help! Hatching/pipping egg with no incubator - how can I jury rig one?

I’ve been sitting with a...
