I won’t be home at all tomorrow and was wondering if it’s okay to start lockdown late day 17 or 14 hours early day 18?

Do my aircells look correct size wise?

Hello! It’s been about 30 days since I put this eeg and the incubator and now it is cracked open and we heard some chirping. Now the chirping has stopped and he has stopped trying to break through. It’s been cracked open for about 10 minutes. Should I help him? This is my first time so please...

I have 5 eggs. The first egg pipped in day 25 and took 49 hours to hatch. Then 3 more hatched after that. I have on left in the incubator. I can hear him in his shell peeping but the incubator is so dirty and smells bad from the other 4 that hatched. Is bacteria a problem? Will it make him sick...

Ok so this is a crazy situation that I need help with right away! I am incubating eggs in my classroom, and I am actually out of town today so I'm nowhere near the school. The sub just called me to say that a chick is almost all the way out of its shell! They are not supposed to even go into...

I have 2 Hydrometers in my incubator, a magicfly one and a repltile tank one, and both read 70% at day 10. I then checked my incubator and there is literally only about 1/4 teaspoon of water in the bottom. How is it reading that high when so little water is in it? Or is 1/4 teaspoon to much? Is...

Do I need to assist this goose? The membrane is yellow around him and he’s only done a giant hole rather than zipping.

Hi guys, Some of you might have read I had three pet ducks and I'm almost convince I've narrowed the predator who took my babies to an owl. I live in NJ and this winter I heard their scared quack and my boyfriend checked on them and a huge Snowy Owl was sitting on their hutch staring at them...

Hi everybody. I'm here looking for a bit of advice, as I'm new to this whole thing. At work today, I found a single duck egg laying on the ground, nowhere near a nest. I was going to just leave it alone, but being that I'm a huge softie for animals, I couldn't help but try to save it. After a...

My humidity was at a steady 55%, but my cat bumped my arm when I was adding more water, caused me to add more water than needed and now it’s at 67%. I’m on day 7, will this hurt the chicks? What should I do? All help is appreciated!

This weekend my beloved pet ducks were taken and killed by a predator while they were spending some time in the yard like they did every evening. I had been letting the female duck keep the eggs she had been laying and putting the ones she laid in the yard into the hutch for her after I found...

I already lost one egg, now I’m down to 6 so I’m hoping this isn’t a blood ring. All other eggs have movement but I didn’t see anything in this one. :( I just recently loss 4 eggs at day 20 from my old incubators heat element going out so I hope this isn’t a blood ring. :hit:barnie

I'm a teacher, and I keep my incubator in my classroom. Yesterday, our school lost power from about 1pm to about 10pm. I was out of town, so my principal went into the school around 3pm to put warm water bottles next to and on top of the incubator and cover everything with a blanket. The...

Has anyone had any problems with hatched chicks, ducklings, goslings, etc. not being able to walk on the QGF hatching liners?? It seems like my little ones can’t stand on it.

I recently bought a forced air magicfly janoel 12 incubator and im currently incubating 7 eggs. 4 barred rock, and 3 Easter Eggers. The incubator was keeping a pretty good temp but I’m on day 5, and it wants to fluctuate. I have 4 thermometers in it. The digital accurite reads 100 steady, the 2...

Hello! I have been incubating my 5 pekin duck eggs for about 6 or 7 days now, and just saw that you are supposed to spray them? I have been keeping them in an incubator at 99.5 degrees fahrenheit and at a humidity of 50-60%. Do i need to spray them? If so, how? Thank you so much!!

I just joined the forum mainly because I really need help hatching 6 Black Copper Maran eggs and 4 Olive Egger eggs. I just bought them Friday and left them out for 24 hours to adjust to room temperature before I put them in the incubator. I put them in yesterday evening and the temp. is staying...

Hey peeps! so my mama silkie has been sitting on her egg for about 2.5 weeks now (that's my estimated time) but today we cleaned out the coop because it was dirty in preparation for the chick. I know you're not really supposed to move the hen when she's sitting on the egg but we thought it would...

Okay so I'll try this again. About 12 days ago I found a muscovy duck egg all alone. It was kind of cold, so I wrapped it in cloth and held it in my hand all day, trying not to move it too much and trying to keep it warm until I could figure out what to do with it. I candled it, but couldn't see...
