    Staggered hatch question

    I started a batch of eggs about a week ago, they are silkie and silkie mixes. With winter my roosters fertility has dropped quite a bit so out of 20 eggs I only ended up with 9 developing. The rest didn’t even start. I was hoping for a bigger hatch than that so my question is could I add more...

    Incubator temperature

    I recently bought a 12 egg incubator and this will be my first time using it but the celsius on the screen keeps going from 38.0 to 37.7. I’ve had the incubator on for about 3 days and every once in a while, the incubator keeps doing that. I have two hydrometers inside and one marks 97.6 but...

    Incubating crossbred eggs! Can anyone tell us what they may hatch to look like?

    We are trying out incubating for the first time and are on day 4 of incubation with a Farm Innovators Still Air Digital Incubator as our cheap incubator used for getting the hang of the do's and don'ts of incubating. Our biggest questions, however, revolve around what these baby pullet chicks...

    Is this egg dead?

    Hello! This little guy was moving a few days ago and I went to do one last check (day 18) and he’s not looking too alive anymore. I can’t see any veins, only bloody looking spots; no movement (today, the other three eggs all moved into position and he hasn’t). Now I’m noticing the air sac is...

    Incubator calibration question

    Hi, all. I have a question regarding my Sailnovo 20 egg incubator (link below). I should honestly have read the reviews on it before I purchased it as this seems to be a common issue with this incubator but it doesn’t seem to want to get to the temperature I set it to. It reads that it has...

    Guinea Fowl Hatch-A-Long (old-timey actors theme 🍿🎥🎬📽️🎞️)

    This morning we set 16 eggs! This is the 2nd hatch for my husband’s birthday present (his request was turkey and Guinea Fowl, first batch was turkeys) If you want to pick an egg to name we are going with old-timey movie actors. Shirley Temple, Cary Grant kind of old-timey…and it can be just...

    Please help!! call ducklings dying during hatch

    I started with 7 eggs, all fertile and all were growing and developing fine. 3 days ago I candled and 2 of the eggs had died and stopped growing, no veins and the inside was yellow. There 2 both had much smaller airsacs then the rest so I’m assuming that is why they died? I removed those 2 and...

    Can I take ready to hatch eggs from hen and move them to incubator?

    I have a few hens sitting on a nest. Four babies have hatched the other chickens killed two and I was able to get to the other two in time but I'm having to check every hour so the chickens don't harm them. Am I able to take the remainder of the eggs and put them in an incubator for them to...

    Call duck eggs day 23. Will I need to assist them hatch?

    I currently have 7 call duck eggs incubating. I’ve been doing a lot of research and it seems they are difficult to hatch due to the short neck/bill. It’s getting closer and closer to lockdown and im wondering how I should proceed. Some threads say to candle and do a safety hole when they...

    Incubating and hatching

    I had a batch of eggs that went on lockdown. I’m having trouble figuring out what the issue is! The first group of eggs that went in a little while ago only 4 made it with being assisted. Each egg made it to lockdown but never internally or externally pipped, it’s like they didn’t even attempt...

    5 hour old serama chick

    Hello! It’s my first time incubating, I lost my favorite roo and my broody girls to my neighbors dog 2 weeks ago. This little guy hatched 5 hours ago and I don’t know if it’s me being super paranoid but he’s still having a hard time walking. He was falling over backwards for the first 30 minutes...

    Help on this day 8 egg

    Day 8. I’ve already had to pull out quite a few eggs. 7 were empty and 1 was a quitter. I’m thinking this one is a quitter too. I could be wrong but it doesn’t look quite right in my little experience I have. What do you all think?

    Duck egg incubation question

    We noticed tonight during candling that one egg seems to be stuck to the membrane or have some sort of issue with the veins. It almost seems like there may be blood inside the egg. If anyone has any info on what this could be, I'd love to hear it. Should we remove the egg? Hope it hatches? The...

    Toxic Incubator

    Hi all, I am hatching eggs in my classroom. I had 14 hatch in a styrofoam incubator. Because of the high hatch rate and the varying hatch times, my incubator got really gross on the inside. I had four more who were trying to hatch, but never made it. Could the air in the incubator be toxic...

    Do these eggs look okay? One looks a little weird to me

    This one is the one I’m not sure about. Should I take it out? Also how do the other ones look? Today is day 8 and these are duck eggs. Thanks!

    I only have one duckling what should I do!?

    Hi, I incubated 3 call duck eggs with my chicken eggs just to see if they were even fertilized. Well we candled all the chicks and duck eggs that didn’t hatch and it seemed there wasn’t anything in any of them. We went outside to crack open the eggs to identify why the eggs didn’t hatch...
