    Egg hatching that still has veins pipped?

    Hello I know these aren't poultry but maybe the same thing goes for poultry. so apparently today is hatching day for one for the lovebirds eggs (I do have handfeeding experience don’t worry) although since these were incubated by the hen before she suddenly died I have to guess what day they...

    Day 21, one chick hatched yesterday. No pips on remaining eggs.

    So I'm worried about the first chick being in there for a long time with no other chicks. If they hatch today, she will have to spend another day in the incubator as I won't want to open the lid while others are pipping, and she's already been in there for 24 hours! All chicks are silkie...

    manually pipping a stuck chick.

    I still have mixed thoughts about manually intervening a chick stuck for hours during pipping. This chick pipped initially yesterday, batch was due yesterday, some had pipped and hatched the day before, some were on time. This one pipped it's beak through the egg shell late yesterday, then...

    DAY 21 peeping stopped. (First time hatcher.)

    I know I've probably been unnecessarily obsessive over the development of the chicks. But although I've had chickens for a while, this is the first time I'm incubating them myself. So I think it's Day 21, and I've heard chirping on and off since last night from the first egg. No movement, just...

    Day 28 no pip

    Day 28, no internal pip on last egg. It’s been trying to for the past few days but doesn’t look like it’s managed to pip internally, movements starting to slow down. Any advice? Air sack looks massive too.

    8 of my 10 eggs pipped today, day 26.

    But not a single one is chirping, not even if I play baby ducks hatching on my phone. They respond to light and noise by moving. But they are just silent. Is this normal? I expected to hear a lot of chirping through the shell when they pipped. And I’m positive they pipped, I put them on...

    Hello all! In the past 19 days I’ve been incubating my first batch of duck eggs 6 khaki Campbell eggs that were shipped to me. They can in as decent condition as you can expect. Unfortunately they did have large saddle air cells so I kept the humidity higher to keep them from getting bigger. Now...

    Help! Duck Egg Hatching First Timer

    Hi All! I have a few general questions about duck egg hatching. Over a month ago, I noticed a duck in my front yard and after a few days realized she was nesting there. Fast forward to about a week and a half ago and a raccoon attacks the duck, and an opossum starts paying regular visits to eat...

    When is the best time to take out hatched chicks?

    Hi! I have 7 eggs in an incubator and yesterday, Saturday 1st May, one chick hatched. I’m not sure at what time because I didn’t see it happen. I noticed the chick this morning and it was nearly entirely fluffy. There are 3 more pipping at the moment which I’m expecting to be fully hatched by...

    Egg pipped Facing down, do I intervene?

    This egg is the first pip, and day 21 is tomorrow. Here's a photo of the piece of shell that has fallen off. I know there is a pip hole here because I can kneel down and just barely see the chick's beak poking out and moving. I've not seen this happen before. Should I intervene?

    Are the chicks dead?

    I may be talking to wall now, but I had a hen sitting on eggs for over a month. Yesterday, I candled the egg and I saw a beak “breathing”. The egg looks underdeveloped by a few days. I know chicks take naps while hatching, but I saw stringy particles that looks like textile fray and swayed when...

    Help! Day 21 and no internal pip.

    I am on the morning of day 21 and have not seen any movement or heard any noises from my two silkie eggs. I gave them a quick candle, and didn’t see very much movement either, however both chicks were filling the egg with healthy veins showing. This is my first time using an incubator (I have...
