    Should I assist? (Quail eggs)

    Hello all, I've been incubating Coturnix quail eggs and was pleasantly surprised yesterday morning (day 18 of incubation) to find some of my chicks had hatched. Unfortunately, I had to open the incubator very quickly 2x to retrieve said chicks. (One had curled toes and splayed legs and was super...

    Day 30 call duck eggs

    It’s day 30 for my call duck egg and I took it out yesterday to see wether it was going to hatch or not, there was some movement going on inside and very clear and distinct veins, but no internal pip which is obviously quite unusual... however when I got up this morning there was what looked to...

    One last egg under mom, laid later...

    For the last 3 days, we have hatched 6 babies. I have one last egg under mama that must’ve been laid about 4 (guessing) days later. How long will mama continue to set on it with the other chicks being up and around and ready to explore?

On Monday, August 3rd (about 28 days), most of...

    HELP! New chick hatched late and can’t stand! Curled toes and wry neck!!

    My sister and I have been hatching chicks for the season (a sneaky hen hid her eggs too well and by the time we found them they were half way developed). We had moved part of the batch under another hen who was starting to brood, and a few into our incubator. One out of the three eggs in the...

    Possible need help with late hatchlings

    I have a broody hen who has not been doing a great job keeping her eggs warm. The result is her eggs are about a week late to hatch but they are alive as they wiggly and peep when I water candled them. I know that they have a yolk store for the normal incubation time of three weeks + a few days...

    I'm going mad. Early and late hatch? Help!!

    I'm going mad. . . so, I'm hatching chicks. One has hatched -no, stop. That's not nice. It's not fine and it is not good. She, Thora, hatched on day 18. She was the furthest from the lamp and among the smallest eggs. Thora has three un-hatched siblings. This might not worry you but it worries...

    Day 24 egg still viable???

    Hello all, my broody hen just hatched 11 out of 12 eggs on day 21-22, and one was left cold in the nest after she got out to tend to the rest so I put it in the incubator. I've been candeling it once a day and it has a good air cell and I see something pulsating near the air cell but no big...
