Iv set the temperature at 37.2 since day 25 and...
Hi,
I am new to this page and I have a crested duck and a domestic white duck that have been laying eggs and I incubated 3. I collected them on November 21st. They may have been sitting in the coop a day or two. but my duck was not sitting on them so I brought them in. I have a video and a few...
Hello! First time Hatcher here. I have three very healthy and very active Pekín duck eggs that are on day 24 of incubation.
I had my first internal pip about 24 hours ago. The air cell was large - about 1/3 of the egg. After waiting 24 hours and no external pip, I performed a quick candling to...
I currently have a pekin duck egg in the incubator. It is day 27 and for the past few days I have seen the duckling trying to break through the membrane but has had no luck. I am a first timer and feeling the temptation to help the little fella out. HELP!
So this is my first Broody hen and this is her first clutch. Last night before I went to bed the eggs were rocking. And this morning (Day 21) I checked on the eggs and a few were pipped. My Question is, How long after they are externally pipped will they hatch?
I have 6 eggs that are at day 25. We heard chirping yesterday but as of this morning, none have pipped. Should we be worried? Any suggestions? Can I pick up eggs to listen or candle? I have a still air incubator that I put my own temp/humidity checker in a few days ago. No egg turner. Eggs were...
Hi folks, first time hatcher here, home incubator with 3 duck eggs aboard.
Today is day 26, so last night I candled for one last time and put the incubator into lockdown. I numbered my eggs 1, 2 and 3 and when candling I could see that egg number 1 was already internally pipping.
We are now...
Ok so this is my first hatch, temp and humidity has been stable throughout. However, since I increased my humidity on lockdown both hydrometers are giving different readings?? One is saying 65 and the other 70. One of the eggs pipped this afternoon and there has been nothing since? No noise and...
One of my quail eggs pipped early this morning... a small amount and since then the egg has been moving yet no more progress. The membrane in part of the surrounding the small pip looks dry yet humidity and everything stable. I know they can take up to 24 hours as it could be absorbing the last...
I'm using a Brinsea Mini II Advance 'cause I don't know what the hell I'm doing so I'm counting on the machine.
It says it has 3 days to go but there's been some wiggling in a couple of the eggs throughout the day and now one has pipped. So I took out the plate that rotates the eggs. Did I...
The shell is broke and I've noticed shrinking. Pipping from wrong end. The membrane is showing with a small crack. It's alive now but when do I help? We're at 28 days now. Pekin egg. Any thoughts?
yesterday afternoon around 1pm we could hear chirping on 3 of our bantam eggs.
I know there was internal pip.
this morning there is not external pips. its been 19 hours.
the little guys are still chirping a bit.
My next problem is the chirping excitment i learned that my 9 year old has opened...
I have a Serama hen that was sitting on 2 eggs. We had candled them and both seemed OK. These were the 2 that survived the "Egg massacre" (see corresponding thread) where my BO and Ameraucana attacked and ate 5 from under the brooding Serama hen. Saturday, the 2 eggs when candled seemed close...
Hello! I feel bad kinda posting right after making an account but I wanted to make sure we weren't about to lose our first clutch.
We ordered button quail eggs off Ebay and they arrived November 22nd. The reviews all said they were fertile so we took our chances with it. We let them sit out for...

Absolute rookie here, I have an egg that’s pipped at 7pm last night on day 19, it’s broke only bigger hole in the shell since (its 16pm UK time) it’s tweeting and shaking it’s egg like mad and just poking through the small hole ?
Since it’s only day 20 - had a mix of polish and bantams...
Day before hatch day and I came home from work to several eggs wiggling and pipping. One is pipping at the pointy end, I know that's not good. How long do I wait until intervention if I choose to do that?
This is my first time incubating quail eggs. Tonight is the night of day 16. None of my quail have started pipping and I'm starting to get worried. My yemp is 98 to 100 degrees my humidity is in the 60s please help!
Okay, so I am having a terrible time hatching chicks. I know that most of us here keep our chicks backyard or on a small farm, and I am no different. I provide a balanced layer feed ration. Most of my flocks are around 1:5 gender ratio. My birds have a lot of places they can run and escape...
