    Urgent! Day 29 no pipping

    So it's day 29...no rocking, no pipping, nothing. The second day of incubation the plug came out so they cooled and we started again on day 3. Could this mean the eggs will just take longer to hatch? Or have my baby duckies died?

    Are these fertilized??

    Hey! I’m new to the incubation process and am trying to figure out if my eggs are fertilized or not. I’ve cracked a few open and think I see “targets” or “bullseyes” but I’m unsure lol so here’s some pictures. Any input is welcome! Thanks!

    First hatch was a success

    I just hatched my first ever eggs in the incubator! I started with 12 eggs and lost 2 during early candling due to them not progressing- All 10 of the eggs left hatched! Not bad for my first time! I have no idea the breed of these chicks so I'm excited to see what they grow into. (neighbor gave...

The crack is on the...

    Day 21

    I'm on day 21 (starting from the first 24 hours) incubating some barnyard mix babies and I'm getting worried because on day 18 the air cells looked fine to me (this is my second time hatching ever, my first attempt was unsuccessful) but I didn't see any movement in any of them. To be fair...

    Is my duck dead or alive? It has a black tail

    Hi. A duck came to nest in our garden a while ago. She was very camouflaged and didnt know she was there for a long time. Sadly she abandoned the nest, we left the eggs outside for about 2 days hoping she'd return but didn't, so we've taken them in. I've recently been incubating the eggs and...

    Eggs on the way- getting cold feet

    Ok, I was super confident in my ability to hatch some eggs. I hatched a quail in a cheap incubator as a kid so I figured I could do it - but after reading Gail Damerow’s book on Hatching, I’m super worried I’ll mess things up (unhealthy chicks) or get no chicks at all. I’m ready to give up...

    Indian Runner ducklings: Blue female x Fawn & White male ducklings

    I haven't seen any photos or much discussion on colors of mixed Indian Runners. Of course they won't be pure, show birds. But, thought others might be interested in seeing the variety. I'll post more photos when they grow their adult plumage.

    Which is worse: humidity too high or too low

    I was wondering what would be worse for incubating chickens, having the humidity too high or having it too low. I know that they both present there share of problems but I didn't know if one was worse than the other. Right now my humidity is around 68-73% and I didn't know if I should try to get...
