    Please tell me your shipped egg experiences!

    OK, I know a lot of people have a lot of trouble incubating shipped eggs. I got 12 Cayuga eggs. One was smashed on delivery and went in the bin. One was infertile. So I now have 10 of 10 fertile eggs on day 18 moving vigorously. The air cells aren't good some worse than others and I even...

    Humidity Problem in Lockdown- Help Appreciated.

    Hi. So we have twelve mixed breed chook eggs up to day 21. Last night the incubator was briefly opened and unfortunately the lid didn't make it back down with a complete seal.

    How do I turn other eggs during lockdown?

    Hello all! This is my first time trying to hatch a clutch of chicken eggs. I believe they are bantam-mix. The first two eggs the hen laid were on the same day, and are set to go into lockdown on August 2nd. My question was, how do I keep turning the other eggs that aren't ready for lockdown...

    Going completely dry, no water at lockdown!

    I know this topic has been brought up many times but I think we need to talk about it one more time. I've had issues with regulating the humidity in my $70 ebay incubator so I went for the dry hatch and added a bowl of water at lockdown. My good friend said he was getting 95% + hatch rate by...

    Lockdown!

    My little Call ducks are finally on lockdown. I'm so excited, but I have to stay reasonable. I have 5 eggs in there and I'm really impressed because their air cells were horrible but when I last checked them today, they seemed to have fixed themselves and look great! All of them moved and...
