Can anyone recommend a good thermometer and hygrometer all in one that I can put into my incubator? I have a brinsea but there is no hygrometer with it and I am pretty sure the temp is off on it. My eggs always seem to hatch 2 or three days early.

so this is the last egg to hatch. This has been going on for about 12 hours. Every time the chick tries to break out it can’t. When should I start being concerned?

Does anyone know why the high temp alarm keeps going off? My internal temp is 99.5 according to a internal therm I put In the incubator. All my high temp and low temp alarms are set to the default. code is -RM it goes off every 30 min and I just put the eggs in yesterday.

I just put 8 Ameraucana eggs in the incubator. The roosters 3 of them are Easter Eggers that just hit maturity. I have seen them in the yard doing their business with the girls. What are the chances these eggs will be fertile? The roosters were hatched Feb 2 of this year. The Ameracana hens are...

Has anyone had a chick with a bowel sound that sounds like pop rocks? She/he seems healthy but you can hear the digestion process. Not sure what it is! Anybody have an idea? She/he seems to be growing like the rest. They are a week old as we hatched them ourselves.

Do the experts know if this is angel wing? This is an Easter egger and he/she will be a week old in a few days. Or do you think the wing is just to heavy for her to lift since she is so young and getting her feathers so soon?

Out of 12 eggs I have hatched 9 healthy babies between Friday and this morning. I have three left that are showing no signs of life. How many days longer should I leave them in Bator before I say they are not going to hatch? Thanks, Adam

ok. So we have had some pretty cold temps recently. Lowest that I know of wasnlike -10f and highs like 10. Well my roo has a frost bit comb. By the looks will he lose it? Anything I can do to prevent it? I put Vaseline on him before temp plunged. Didn’t help lol.

I have never hatched my own eggs before but I want an incubator that does it all for me. Is this worth spending 200 dollars on? I only have 10 hens and a roo so I only need to hatch like 6 eggs every couple years for our continued egg supply.

So can you hatch a thawed egg? I have fertile eggs but by the time I get home from work sometimes the eggs are very cold. My daughter and I want to hatch some eggs but maybe we should wait until our weather gets above freezing? Experts please advise

Hey everyone! I had to cull one of my hens last Saturday. She was wheezing and sneezing and the others were picking on her pretty violently. Well yesterday two more came down with the same sickness. A hen and a roo. From what I have read online people recommend to Cull your whole flock...

My drake has gotten a bit too frisky with the girls and has not torn both of their eyes open to the point of bleeding. I am not sure the one hen will get her vision back in the one eye. Is it time to get rid of the drake? He just seems to be too aggressive for the girls.
