I recently hatched some tolbunt polish eggs that I bought from a breeder. Some chicks have very light grey coloring on their body instead of black. The breeder said those ones are blue tolbunt polish.(?) I've never heard of that. Has anyone else heard of blue tolbunt and if so, do you have...
First time incubating, been reading these threads for quite some time. I have 2 eggs that have pipped. One in the middle of the egg, and I saw very slight blood and I assume yolk come out. It seems the chick is working up toward the air cell though, so I hope it's fine? The other than pipped...
So last Monday my baby seramas hatched. All but 3 out of 15. Tuesday 2 pipped and waited 12+ hours with no progress. I intervened with both. One did good coming out but other not so good. I only helped enough for them to do the rest. So after a few more hours, I helped a little more...
Please be patient with me.
The egg came from my aunt, first time we tried to hatch one of her eggs. The chick grew healthy, strong veins and movement throughout the entire process. On day 20, the chick pipped and after 24 no progress. Another 20 hours passed and the chick poked a little more...
So, there was a pigeon sitting on a chicken egg, but she decided to give up at 10 days. I put this chicken egg under her on October 1st. I'm wondering if I can save the chick? I have a TrioCottage incubator that I have, but I don't have any other fertalized eggs.
If it's too late it's okay :D
HELP! This is my first time incubating eggs, well long story short I tried to have a humidity thermometer in there with them and the egg turner knocked it over it jammed up and the lid popped off sometime in the night, the eggs still felt warmer than room temperature and this was within the...
Hey y’all! I’m incubating and hatching my first set of eggs! I set eight in my incubator, today is day 20. 4 have already successfully hatched, two more have pipped and I expect them to fully hatch in the next few hours.
So far I have not had any problems!
I have a couple questions though:
1)...
So I set 8 of my neighbours eggs. She has a black polish with white plume and a RIR roo. 5 of them were clearly fertile at day 5 the other 3 weren’t. We had 100 percent hatch yesterday and ended up with these little cuties. So curious to see how they turn out! Wondering if anyone else has...
How long do you give eggs to hatch? 🤔
On April 6th, I found a secret nest under one of our mowers. There were nine eggs that were "good", I candled them & saw something in most of them... so I put them in our incubator.
Fast forward to April 26th. I hadn't forgot about the eggs (I've been...
Which do you think is best to give newly arrived or hatch chicks? I will be incubating a few, and have a few coming through the mail. It is my first time with shipped and hatched chicks, as I’ve only picked up day old chicks locally before.
Thanks!
Thinking of hatching some of my eggs that my new layers just started laying. Cracked one the other day and it is indeed fertile (white bullseye).
Which incubator have you used faithfully that gave you the best hatch rates?
Had some eggs put in the incubator the 21st at 11am and lockdown is bout to happen in 2 days. On the 8th. But daylight saving time ends tomorrow, what time should i stop letting incubator rotate eggs? Should i take to account the daylight saving time or what?
Hi there,
Today (day 25) I gave up and opened the eggs that didn’t hatch, (only 1/8 hatched). 3 died early, and then 4 were fully developed. I decided to open them because i saw no movement in the last 12 hours. Could I have killed them? On the other side yesterday I posted another question and...
This is the third time I have incubated eggs. I candled a couple of the eggs to show my little brother what they looked liked. Between Friday and tonight (Sunday), the veining has changed on them. They are not as large as they used to be and now I have what looks like streaking of the veins on...
It’s my first time incubating Bantam eggs. I have hatched standard breeds and duck eggs before. All my Bantams are developing at the same rate except for one. It has less yolk left and it seems like it could be two days ahead of the others and the others seem to be a day ahead of the standards...
I just hatched some chicks this past Saturday and today I realized that one of my chicks eye doesn't look normal...
Sorry that the picture isn't very clear. He seems to be able to see okay but this eye also looks a little bit watery.
Thoughts?
