    Turkey egg! Help!!!

    A friend gave me a Turkey egg on the 10th. She got it from her neighbors who have Turkeys but were moving. Long story. No idea how far along in the process it is or if it was ever too cold or too hot for any length of time before I got it… Brought it home and put it on a heating pad (temp...

    Incubating eggs cold to the touch

    Had a broody hen that was sitting on several eggs at different stages of development. When candled, some were tiny little embryos moving and a few were ready to hatch. We had 4 to hatch but they all died. I think the mama pecked them or stomped them. Idk. Anyways, we bought an incubator and put...

    Twin Egg With One Yolk

    Hi, this is my first post here but I was candling my Australorp eggs today and I noticed two distinct spots on one of the eggs. They're both moving and seem fine for now but I know the chances of survival are slim. The egg isn't any bigger than the other eggs so I don't think it's a double yolk...

    Embryo survival time at 30 degree celcius

    I am incubating my chickwn eggs for 15 days. But unfortunately there was a huge power cut of 12 hours. I checked the temperature and it was 30 degree celcius. Is there any chance left that my eggs can hatch?

    My duck abandoned her eggs, can I put them in the incubator??

    She's been sitting on them 8-10 days, maybe. We had to move her because it was just an unsafe spot for her to be out at night and she didn't like it. She was off the nest a few days before I realized she just was not going to sit on them any longer. The temp here has gotten down to low 70s at...

    First time hatching duck eggs. Worried :(

    Humidity temperature for hatching eggs?

    At first I thought I knew everything about incubating eggs, but it seems that the more I read the more I am confused? Some people say to put the humidity as low as 40, and others say no less then 55. I even see people putting it as high as 70 for the first few days! So which one is it??? Is 50...

    Incubation Lockdown Question

    So while reading through the threads on here I’ve heard the term “lockdown” being mentioned a lot. Now I have my eggs under a hen, not in an incubator, and was wondering if I should still take her off the nest to eat and drink after the 18 day mark. I’ve been taking her off once or twice a day...

    When should I expect my chicks to hatch?

    Hello all, this is my first time hatching out chicks and I am so exited! We are day 16! I was just wondering what the time window is for the eggs to hatch, and after how long give up on the eggs if they haven’t hatched. Thanks!
