I had an excellent hatch rate of 75% on my last incubatiion even though my incubator is pretty basic and I had someone else turning the eggs much of the time. Unfortunately, two of the three turned out to be roosters and we were not allowed to keep them in the city where I was residing. I want...

Please help! I am incubating duck eggs and I just found this. An egg is cracked with with brown/red substance coming out. I am not sure how it cracked but I think the incubator was bumped some how. The egg has been in the incubator for about 15 days. This is my first time incubating and I don’t...
Hi there!
I recently purchased my first ever incubator, a Brinsea mini Advance ii. After putting eggs in, for the first two days, I did not realize that the automatic turner (which turns the eggs every 45 minutes), was not running long enough to completely rotate the top down to the bottom and...
I was candeling one of my polish/sultan/mottled houdan hatching eggs on day 1, and there was a faint air bubble and the egg was super dark, darker than all the others. What does this mean? Will my chick hatch?
These are silkie eggs and were shipped, but only from within the country...
Any ideas why the air cells are like this? Will they survive?
The chicks inside are growing well otherwise.

Hello! New to incubating chicks. Today is day 20 and one chick hatched this morning! So exciting. We have 39 others... 4 pipped... others, nothing has happened. That one chick is fluffing out nicely and is knocking into the other eggs. I know you're not supposed to open up the incubator...
Hey everyone.
I’m in upstate NY. Waiting for some warmer weather. The once fluffy little ducklings are already starting to quack and they need to go outside soon!
We still have some eggs in our incubator. I want to put something (if I can) in the humidity tank so that I can keep the...
so I bought two more eggs but from a different company in New Mexico. I added rice to the incubator to keep the humidity at 47% since humidity here is so high. I got a digital scale this time and they were both losing what they should have been.
I’m on day 42 and NO wiggles. When rolled, they...

My babies love their Pretend mama!
I placed a 10” piece of
my daughters old feather boa into the new hatchery and my babies just fuss over it. They cuddle in and bury themselves into the mass of fluff! Highly recommend this for your new peeps!
So i have 12 eggs under a lamp in a box with a damp towel underneath. Also using some foil to keep the heat in. But left some room for the air to escape. Cant be too hot.
Temp is around 37.
I dd hear a peep on day 22 at 6pm.
Then i heard a peep again on day 23 at 10am.

So I've been hatching babies left and right and last night was the first successful hatch from one of my mix breed chicken eggs. The mother is one of my white leghorn girls and the father is one of my barred rock boys.
5 eggs went into the incubator clearly marked with who the parents were and...
Ok so I had 2 hens sitting on some eggs. 1 hen had 8 days and the other one only had 1 day. The hen with 8 days stopped sitting on the eggs so I removed the eggs from her and put them under the hen that had a day. I put the clutch of eggs from the hen with one day on my counter in case any other...
We have been incubating chicks every spring but this time we had a chick that started hatching but I don’t think it’s ready to hatch. The yolk doesent seem to be absorbed, the bleed vessels are visible and I can’t tell if the chick is using them, the chick was peeping but now when it opens it’s...
