    8 hatched and dry - 2 still working on it

    Hi all! I am new to this as I am first timer here. I have researched a ton before doing this and have read as much from this forum as I can. I incubated 10 eggs. At the last candleing all but 3 (which I just couldn't see into due to pigment of egg) were viable. Yesterday was day 19 and the...

    Adding A Cord Notch To A Vevor 25L Incubator, HELP!

    My trusty ReptiPro 6000 died, and the ReptiPro company is no more, I guess. I ordered a new Vevor 25L incubator, which is basically the same thing. But. It's missing the VERY important cord notches that the ReptiPro had (see pictures below, the temp probes placed in the water weasels exit the...

    Chic is breaking through shell, but hasn't used the air cell, and isn't breaking the membrane! I managed to put a bit of a hole where the beak is, and it's now breathing. HOWEVER. it's bleeding a bit. Not much, it's stopped, but there was a bit of blood. What do I do??

    I've been gone for a while....

I plan on being a little more active on here now that things have leveled out. I'll try my best to catch up...

    Copper black maran eggs not hatching.

    I'm having a problem with my copper black maran eggs not hatching. I run a mixed flock and incubate a few clutches of barnyard mixes every year. I've been doing this for about 4 years now. I run both a cabinet incubator and a table top. Both are at 100F at 50% humidity, bumping to about 65% at...

    “Tricks” for early sexing?

    Hey friends! I’ve begun my hatching for the year, and I wanted to try something just for fun! What are your favorite/silliest/most interesting “tricks” for early sexing of chicks? I don’t mean anything tried and true, and I don’t mean once the obvious signs are there, like saddle feathers and...

    Blue Ameraucana hen cross Delaware Roo

    Hello all! I am looking to hatch some Blue Am eggs I have a blue Ameraucana hen and a Delaware Roo. Has anyone ever hatched these eggs? Will the Pullets lay blue eggs? Are you able to tell the Pullets from the Roos with this hatching? I’ve never done this before so I’m curious for all the info...

    Day 21, Egg crushed and baby still in amniotic fluid, but chirping. What do I do?

    I have a Broody hatching some eggs and when I went outside to check on her and provide her with fresh water, an egg was crushed. This egg was crushed to the point that I could see the baby inside and see the baby still inside the fluid, but I was able to locate the beak. This egg also dealt...

    Is there a such thing as “too much candling”

    Is there a such thing as candling too often? We are have some eggs incubating and we are on day 6. Just want to know if there’s a such thing as candling too often? I know that you don’t notice a huge difference within a day, but didn’t know if it “hurts” anything to candle more than just once or...

    baby chick stuck to membrane

    I assisted a bantam chick in hatching because I was away from home for a while and the humidity had dropped extremely on day 19 for this chick and it was shrink wrapped so I assisted. I peeled off the shell and left the membrane because it was still attached to the chick. I am aware I could not...

    Assisted hatch help needed. Wrong position

    I've been assisting one of my call ducklings that internally pipped. He's doing great. The other two eggs hadn't and as it's day 26 I was afraid they were shrink wrapped. I opened up a hole (they were shrink wrapped) and added coconut oil to soften the membrane. One of them is in the wrong...

So she currently is sitting on her nest at night and in the early mornings and afternoons and is off during midday when it’s the hottest.

    Is 66% Humidity okay for lockdown?

    Hello everyone. I’m incubating eggs for the first time ever and my eggs are due to hatch in 2 days. I had put 16 eggs in the incubator. 8 were infertile, 2 were found to be double yolkers (discarded before incubation) and 2 others weirdly passed at day 14 and 16. So I’m left with 5 and the last...
