Hi everyone, I'm south of Rochester. Looking for some Maran eggs preferably to hatch. Does anyone know of anyone in Rochester, Buffalo, or Finger Lakes area?

I can’t get over how adorable these little chicks are!

I had a dream that one of my chicken eggs hatched as a duck. :lol: And I've never kept ducks... I'm sure I'm not the only one who had very broken periods of sleep over the last few days!

Yay, all eggs that we expected to hatch (8) did. My daughters are especially excited about the eggs we hatched from our favorite hen, a bantam silkie/Cochin. They are super cute!

3 babies out for me and 5 more to go hopefully! Tomorrow is day 21 for the eggs remaining.

I love hearing that. :-) I was wondering this morning if it is normal & ok to NOT hear cheeps, if you have a pip?

I set our eggs a bit early too and we got our first pip this morning! I’m hoping they take their time since I’m at work til 2.

I found a home for two of the roos, so we're down to two now. There are 10 hens. I have an added-on run that I've considered closing off, but there isn't really a shelter in there. I'd love to have multiple coops someday. :-)

Hi everyone! My husband and I candled and were a bit disappointed in our number of infertile eggs, so we've gone down from 22 eggs to 8 alive plus two maybes. I'm hoping to candle again today or tomorrow. We have four roosters (down to two after today) but I think they're too busy competing to...

My eggs are in! Now for the waiting. Can’t wait to try the candler in my new bator!

Thanks for sharing; I’ll keep a close eye on it. I have heard of other people needing to replace the turner. I have the bantam eggs in now and they do seem to be moving when the turner goes, perhaps just not as uniformly. Do you know how often the turner is supposed to come on?

Thank you!

Hi there, I also am planning a hatch in my new Nurture Right 360 and I'm wondering if the turner will work for my bantam eggs? It looks like you've hatched bantams in yours?

Hi everyone! I'm about to add eggs to this incubator tonight and I have some questions about the turner. First, is it supposed to continually run, or do we need to push the buttons to make it go a few times a day? (It doesn't say in the manual and mine is plugged in but not turning, test run...

I'm planning to join the hatchalong using my new Harris Farms nurture right incubator! I'll be hatching a mix, focusing on my bantam cochin, ameraucana and EE. This will be my third hatch using an incubator but I've never used an incubator with a clear view of the eggs which is exciting!
