    End of Incubation Season To-Do's

    As the hatching season comes to an end for most of us, there are some things I like to do to ensure easy startup for next season. 1. Clean ALL the parts and pieces of the incubators. I used two incubators this Spring. A Hatching Time CT60 and a NutureRight360. I start by completely...

    Whittlers Way Farm Hello from Crab Orchard KY

    We have been raising Chickens for 10 years and have about 20 chickens that are full-blooded barn yards. There is a stronger base of Rhode Island Reds but probably about 6 other breeds because my wife liked beautiful chickens and sent me all over KY buying different ones for looks and we ended up...

    Dead egg?

    All the rest have hatched while we were on vacation )we had someone watching them.) except this one. We figured it’d hatch out by now we collected these all about the same time. But to me it kinda looks like it stoped growing but I’m not too sure how to tell and the dark kinda blood spot on...

    HDD 4 egg incubator

    4 egg HHD incubator I bought second hand for 10€ In this tiny incubator I can only turn the 55g eggs up and down. Strange I have to turn the eggs up and down, especially when they develop later in the process. I believe it is more natural to lay the eggs sideways and roll them over to the other...

    incubated eggs, different start days

    Hi, Looking for some experienced thoughts/knowledge.... We've hatched 3 or 4 sets of our own eggs (not-shipped) before, and generally hatch about 70% (or close to). We run the incubator at 50-60 with egg turner on until lockdown, then run 60-65%. This is the first time we added eggs on the...

    Help! Eggs are overdue

    Hello! It’s a long one so buckle up. My husband and I are hobby chicken owners, we have a small flock and one of our chesire blues suddenly went very bloody (rare, I know)! A friend had fertile cream crested legbar eggs so we set 5 under her (she has since laid 3 of her own which we have left...

    Humidity question. NEED HELP ASAP. Duck eggs

    Hello!! I bought myself an incubator recently and set some duck eggs today. However, I'm a bit confused with the humidity requirements. I live in Romania, and for some reason most romanian youtube videos and sites that I've seen seem to recommend 60-70% for the first period and 80%-85% at...

    Splay leg and removing from incubator

    Hey y’all! We are hatching some coturnix quail. We had about 7 hatch last night, that was late day 17, and a few more have pipped and are starting to zip this morning, early day 18! They are all looking fabulous and healthy, but I’m suspecting one chick that hatched last night has splay leg...

    Upside down pipping?

    hi! I’m on day 21 with 6 silkies, 3 pipped earlier today and are chirping and moving, the other 3 are still rocking but no pips. 2 of the 3 pips are facing downwards, is this okay? They're within the air sac, just facing the floor of the incubator, I can’t get any good pics.

    NR 360 Lockdown Humidity

    Today is day 18 of incubation (yay!) and I prepared the incubator for lockdown an hour ago. The humidity has not risen from 47%. I have both water pots filled and the air vent is about 2/3 open. Any tips? Last time I put wet paper towels in my incubator, but while I wasn’t home they ended up...

    1 day old chick legs turned out and bone showing. Please help!!

    Some silkies hatched yesterday and one more hatched today. He seemed to be doing fine just weaker than the others when he first hatched. Then we realized the other chicks were picking at him to the point of dragging him. We put the chicks in a brooder and put this one back in the incubator. We...

    No vent holes on chinese incubator

    I have a 35$ cheapo incubator for my first hatch, 10 out of 12 eggs have embryos and I'm on day 18. I've seen reviews of this one with fluffy chicks running around inside that also had ducks in the same batch so I think I'm good but there's no obvious ventilation. Unless the lip around the dome...

    Homemade Styrofoam cooler incubator

    I have a broody who has added about 4 eggs to her clutch over the last couple weeks, and she started hatching the eggs I gave her yesterday. My incubator (china-bator) has been doing great, but it's full! So I decided to make my own lock down incubator! My plan is to keep my china-bator with the...

    Does anyone have experience with the MeeF incubator?

    Hi everyone, I want to hatch chicks out of my own flock here in a month or two, but I am having some troubles with my incubator (and it's too late to return it.) The brand is called MeeF and my first impression was that it was super modern and nice-looking, and I was super excited about the egg...

    Urgent - 1 left to hatch, no pip?

    Hi all, day 22 here, had a broody sitting on a nest on 7 eggs, 5 have fully hatched by yesterday morning. I decided to lift up momma's chest to took a look at the last two. One dead, likely before the 11th day when I last candled as even then I wasn't sure. I tossed that one. The other I candled...
