    Hen still turning eggs on day 20? Is this ok for the chicks?

    My chicks are sceduled to hatch tomorrow! One is already pipping. The problem is the broody is still turning them and moving them around underneath her. Is this ok for the chicks? I know in an incubator you stop turning them on day 18 so does the same apply with a hen?

    Need help with hatching

    This egg pipped 24 hours ago with no further progress. I'm getting worried. Do I help? It hasn't made much noise at all, and never even heard an internal peep. I can see its beak, what should I do?

    My chick is due today ( day 21) I can hear it chirp, but no pipping

    So I can here my chick chirping in its shell, I don’t see any cracks or anything. Should I just let it be? Should I try and help it? Any advice is much appreciated.

    Hello! New to incubating chicks. Today is day 20 and one chick hatched this morning! So exciting. We have 39 others... 4 pipped... others, nothing has happened. That one chick is fluffing out nicely and is knocking into the other eggs. I know you're not supposed to open up the incubator...

    Hatching help - bloody egg

    I have 8 eggs that are hatching out today. I have the incubator on lockdown and I sadly had to open it after the cat knocked into it and caused the eggs to hit into one another. One of my eggs had some blood come out of where it pipped at. The chick is still talking and I can see it moving and...

    External pip, no progress

    Hi everyone, I woke up this morning and went straight to the incubator and one of my eggs pipped. That was around 7:20. Not sure how long it was open before I saw it. My question is there has been no progress since this am and it is now 6 pm, so nearly 12 hours later. Not sure if I should be...

    Do you take chicks out after hatch?

    So I am about to go into lock down with the chicks. My question is; do you remove the chicks from the incubator after they hatch? Do you remove the broken egg shells? Basically what do you do after the first chick emerges? I have 12 in right now, looking great!!! Thanks for your imput!

    Late day 17/Early 18

    So I have 6 RIR eggs in a small table top, relatively cheap incubator (I have to turn and monitor humidity/temp myself - no biggie), but since I put them in after lunch to begin their incubation, today after lunch would have been the start of day 18 - Lockdown. So, this morning when I woke up...

    No pip, but chick is breathing!

    Hello! My last post was about my egg that I almost threw out...but this time I have a different question. When I put my egg back in the Incubator, I noticed that the chick was breathing! But isn't that impossible if it hasn't internally pipped? :confused:

    Duck eggs - Can feel and hear the ducklings moving.

    Hey guys, I checked my call duck this morning to see how her eggs were going. When I picked up a few to check, you could feel movement in the egg and if you put the egg up to your ear you could hear movement as well as a almost pecking sound. What I am wondering is.. does anyone know how much...

    Pipping but no zipping after 30+ hours.

    I have 4 chicken eggs out of 8 that pipped well over a day ago. Two have been cheeping loudly since yesterday. There has been no progress and no zipping. The humidity is high so I don't think the membranes have dried out, but this is my first time using an incubator AND these were shipped eggs...

    Pipped egg over 24 hours not hatching

    I'm currently incubating 12 eggs, I have had 4 eggs hatch so far, the rest of them I think are infertile. There is one egg though that pipped on day 21 and still has not hatched it's almost day 23 so it has almost been 48 hours since it pipped. I know things can go wrong even after they pipped...

    Unexpected Hatching Questions!!! URGENT!

    Hey y'all I have questions. Just discovered today I have a broody bantam mix. Unfortunately I pulled her off the nest before I realized her eggs are HATCHING. She wouldn't get back on the nest for a little while (maybe 20 minutes). Two had already hatched, one has hatched since, and several were...
