    Unabsorbed Yolk!

    A chick hatched this morning around 6am, and I immediately noticed that there seemed to be a good bit of yolk under her and something was bleeding- it was clear against the paper towel. Today is day 20. I then took it out of the incubator quickly and placed it back in its eggshell in a cup in a...

    Hatching days

    Okay so let me start by explaining! I have two peafowl eggs in the incubator right now. I put them in on April 10th at 1:00pm, but I counted that as day 0. Peafowl eggs go into lockdown on day 26. Tomorrow will be day 25 but technically at 1:00 wouldn’t it be day 26? Should I go ahead and put...

    Should I Be Concerned???

    We set our eggs Monday, April 6th at 9pm. We candled on day 8 and found 8 out of 11 to be fertile. This past Friday we removed the egg turner and increased humidity to 65% to prepare for hatch day. Around 4am on Monday, a new chick hatched. We left it in the incubator for about 20 hours before...

    Second time hatcher with a couple questions

    Candled chicken eggs on day 14 and found one of the eggs went from a top air sack to a side sack (didn't get a picture of the side sack, but it is the right size for the date) I have marked the air sack and have the egg vertical in case the drawdown gets the sack to enlarge towards the top...

    This is the third time I have incubated eggs. I candled a couple of the eggs to show my little brother what they looked liked.

    4 chicks hatched day 18, did float test on rest day 23, do I assist?

    4 chicks hatched on day 18. They got fluffy and were racing around the incubator, knocking all the other eggs around and playing with each other so I took them out and put them in the brooder. Remaining 12 did nothing. On Day 23 I took them out and float tested. 2 didn’t develop but remaining...

    First Time Incubating

    I have never hatched eggs before but we got an incubator yesterday and I’m wondering if I should clean the incubator and if I should how should I do that? Hatching eggs seem to be really fragile and I’m worried I’ll accidentally kill them. Our incubator holds 22 eggs and is the Harris Farms...

    Best humidity for hatching in Janoel 12?

    I purchased a Janoel 12 and set eggs to hatch today - my very first batch! I’ve read a lot about incubation but there seems to be very different suggestions about humidity levels during first 18 days. I’m not sure whether to try a dry hatch, or what rate people have found gave best results in...

    Internal Pip for more than 24 hours?

    Hello everyone!! A week back I had a chicken who was sitting on a mixed batch of eggs...I’m pretty sure when she got off her eggs to eat and drink water, other chickens came and laid more eggs in her already developing batch. So when it came to hatching time, only three of hers hatched and the...

    Hatching button quail eggs

    Hey all, My female is constantly wanting to hatch eggs, but every time one hatches she ends up trampling the poor soul to death and then ignores the other eggs and they eventually dont make it. I haven't been able to acquire an incubator that I like for their tiny eggs so I normally just take...
