    My first pip!

    This is our first hatch (of shipped eggs) - and we got our first pip! So nervous none are going to hatch. Of the 8 shipped, 5 made it to lockdown. Yesterday, they were all moving around. I made a little mistake and had to open the incubator to put in some paper towels on the bottom to keep...

    Day 0-15 humidity too high; any fix for final hours?

    First time incubating (Coturnix quail). Too late, I obtained other hygrometers to test humidity levels and found that built-in incubation hygrometer was way off (probably cause it was stuck). I've read info on humidity levels and seen lots of discussion on it in forums, but haven't yet found...

    I have a broody hen named Misty who is sitting on a clutch of 14 eggs, all due to hatch over the rest of this week. I thought I had secured her in a cage in the coop, but no. Some other hen got into her cage and pecked a hole in one of the chicks aircells. The chick is still alive(visible...

    An obnoxious smell coming from the incubator on hatch day

    I had a teacher that I work with tell me that there is a seriously foul smell coming from her incubator, but chicks are supposed to hatch today. She looked it up and it said that maybe one of the eggs had a bacterial problem, but is there any way to tell which egg it might be?

    This is my first hatch and on day 21 I had one hatch, then on day 22 the second one and day 23 the third on hatched (with wry neck). I have three more eggs in the incubator that had movement at day 18 when I went into lock down. I candled again last night (day 23) and one had movement inside of...

    NB Chicks eyes get stuck shut. Normal?

    I hatched 4 chicks 3 days ago, some of which were born with some minimal goop and egg shells on their fur, though were still able to fluff up on their own. The next day, I noticed that 2 of them would periodically have one or both eyelids get stuck shut after snoozing. They usually opened on...

    Can I Have Some Help?

    I set four fertile eggs under a broody hen. She rolled one egg out very early on. I only candled today and yesterday. I believe I set them on the 19th of December, BTW New Zealand time is one day earlier then american time, (so it's the 9th here) I believe today is meant to be hatch day I knew...

    Broody duck - Seperate from the others or no?

    Tomorrow is (by our calculations) hatch day for our first khaki Campbell eggs incubated by a broody hen! She has spent the last couple days seriously fortifying the nest and only comes out for a few minutes at a time a couple times a day. Unfortunately her nosey duck and chicken brothers and...

    Duckling hatching help

    Seven of my eggs are hatching. One baby couldn't pip, so I followed instructions and very carefully made a small hole, then found her shrink-wrapped. I made the hole bigger and am keeping her wet, but she started helping and now I'm afraid the hole is too big because there are visible veins? The...

    How long is long enough?

    my hen hatched her fist egg on Tuesday night. The eggs hit 21 days on Wednesday. This morning (Thursday) still no other chicks. All eggs were started at the same time. I didn't candle at all during this hatch. Should I candle now? I've seen lots of different opinions on how long to wait before...
