Hi! Awhile back I asked the more experienced folks about DIY incubators. It did not seem feasible to make one at the time, so I bought a MatixoopX off of Amazon and it's currently Day 2 for those ones. I didn't want all of my fish in one pond in case anything happened to a very sketchy DIY...
Hi, I really need some advice!
My chickens eggs are currently on day 13, and I just checked my incubator and saw the temperature is at 22c and 56 humidity. I last checked my eggs 12/16hrs ago and the temperature was at 37.6 and humidity 45. So, my eggs could have been sat in 22c temperature...
Hey there!
I just hatched from an incubator, and 7/8 out of 12 made it!
I have one runt, and he has an injured foot. It looks like one of the toes is cut pretty badly and the other chicks have been bullying him as well.
He’s 1 day old, and I wasn’t sure what to do, so I rinsed the foot off in...
We’re incubating and hatching chicks it’s our first time and we hatched the first 2 successfully, i have one that i heard chirping from inside the egg so i came over to look and saw the shell had a crack in it but i haven’t heard anything and it hasn’t cracked anymore in 3 hours, the other 2...
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...

One of my hens nested under our shed. A week ago, April 1st, one egg hatched and while I was fixing the brooder, a crow took the chick. My hen went back on her nest and has been there since. This morning I noticed too many feathers and saw something took my hen right off her nest. The rest of...
I just got a Nurture Right 36O. I followed the instructions to a T but as soon as I turned it on it’s saying 99% humidity. I want to make sure everything is working correctly before I put eggs in it. Will the humidity go down or is there something I need to do to fix it?
Hello! I am brand new to hatching eggs using an incubator. I have hatched some previously under a broody hen (which I never candled) but this is my first time using an incubator. Does this duck egg look good to you so far? It’s been almost 5 days in the incubator and they all look similar...
I started with 9 eggs in the incubator on September 24 when I candled them 2 had started forming but died at some point, 2 were infertile, and one had a chip in it. The other 4 are still going strong! Day 26 today 3 of them have external pipped and I can't tell if the fourth one has. Over night...
Hello,
I started out incubating 6 silkie eggs but only 2 developed at all. Now only one has hatched and the other hasn’t shown any signs of hatching. My local feed store has some buff orphington chicks but they will probably sell out very soon. Should I go ahead and buy some more chicks or wait...
I am new to incubating coturnix quail eggs. I have been incubating them in a non-insulated shop. At first the eggs seemed to be doing OK, but I had to adjust several things such as the temperatures that I stored the eggs at before I placed them in the incubator. Now my biggest problem is that...
Hi! I had a broody hen so I gave her 7 eggs to sit on. She sat on them for one night and this morning it looks like she doesn’t want to be a momma anymore. I can’t get an incubator until tomorrow, do you think they will be okay for a night? And how should I store them if so?
Thank you!!
This is our 3rd time hatching eggs. The first 2 times were much more successful than this last time. The first 2 times I quickly pulled the chicks out after they hatched. I was worried about the chicks bumping the other eggs around and delaying them or causing them to not hatch. I understand...
I spend most of my time in the Quail forums and forget to come over here. We Incubated 120 of our quail eggs. We were excited as we have bought the last 2 sets of 120 eggs from Myshire Farms.
This set was completely from our adult birds. We laid down 120 eggs and only candled on lockdown day. we...
I got an incubator to hatch out my Jersey Giant eggs. First time using an incubator. Out of 11 eggs 6 seem to not be doing anything (maybe infertile). 4 we’re developing then all the blood vessels seemed to detach and pool in the same spot. And one is maybe coming along properly. I have pictures...
I have two jersey giant hens and an evil rooster. Last clutch we had he murdered several chicks before I could intervene (they were new for us and I didn’t realize he would be so aggressive with his own chicks. please don’t judge too harshly 😭) so we got an incubator. So I’m wondering, since...
Having a few issues!
I need help on the incubator instructions!
I've hatched eggs in an incubator before but I can't remember the settings!
Help please! :)
TIA!
Hi everyone! This is my first hatch and I used an incubator. I have one egg that hasn't hatched. It's day 23 and no pips either but has a dark spot developing on the shell. I thought it was going to explode because it has white stuff on it (turned out to be poop from the other chicks). We did...
Hi, I have call ducks and I’m trying to hatch eggs in my incubator but not having good results. I’ve never done a dry hatch before. Would a dry hatch work with call duck eggs? If so could someone please explain to me how to do a dry hatch. Thank you
