Been busy growing chicks successfully! Hatching them in the incubator and selling the chicks. Also recently hatched beautiful guinea fowls.

90+ degree Fahrenheit

95 Fahrenheit average

So my question is this….. can I hatch eggs that have been outside on the yard in direct sunshine for 2 days ? Or had the sun damaged them ?

Just want to give an update here. I believe I had a very good hatch rate now. I hatched 30 eggs out of 34 successfully. I had the humidity at 50 and the temperature at 99.4. So I believe my problem was that I had the temperature too high the previous times. Thanks everyone for helping.

This is the bator I have. I just use the instruments sensors. And I wonder then why the Manuals that come with the bator all say humidity should be 50-55. But I’ll have to try something different so that it works again

Oh and someone asked how many successful hatching id done before this and I’m not sure. A few years. I keep the incubator going regularly. I’ve changed to a new bigger bator once but that was already before I started having this bad luck. I use eggs from my own chickens and also occasionally...

During incubation I have the humidity at 50-55% and then the last 3 days I’d have humidity at 60-65%. Temperature at 99.8. My incubator has a fan. And the shells that I opened had fully developed chicks a bit moist but not overly so.

Hello. I’ve been incubating eggs for quite a while now and my last 2-3 bunches I have about 50% chicks dead in shell. They’re fully developed but haven’t even pipped or cracked the shell. It’s heartbreaking to see all those fully developed chicks but dead 😞. What is the perfect temperature and...

I can hardly believe how my gosling has grown. He seems to be healthy and thriving

Yea well this one will be the children’s pet. The rest of the goslings that hatch I want to try putting it with the other geese.

The gosling is improving and getting strong so well. He’s walking around and cries when I leave him alone.

I think it’s too far to ship eggs from USA to belize

I’m in belize. I wouldn’t mind what quail eggs. I was asked to hatch them to feed to hawks at a raptor rescue center.

Awe that’s sad that it died. Sure must have been disappointing. I hope To try hatching quail sometime yet but it’s hard to get the eggs around here
