Well, besides starting off with fertile eggs, its important to store them properly ahead of time. Make sure to keep them between 50-60 degrees to increase hatchability.

The third one hatched!

Two of the eggs have already hatched! (1.5 days early) right now is the start of the 20th day (3:30) and when I came home today one was already up, in the water bowl, and the other was about to hatch. Once the other one hatched, I looked in and made sure there were no other pips and then I...

In lockdown and noticed the humidity was a little low. I accidentally bumped one of the eggs when trying to increase the humidity but I think that it'll be fine.

It's about half an inch to an inch deep. Is that okay?

How do you suggest I set up the brooder for my chicks?? I have a heat source, food, bedding, water, and a plush animal. Someone recommended that last one because it is like a soft mother. What else should I add?

Wow! Mine are due to hatch on the 25th! We may both have some spring babies!

One more question. Bantams are known for hatching early, and ameraucanas are known for hatching late. I have two bantam ameraucana chicken eggs that look like they are going to hatch as of now. Do you think they will hatch early, on time, or late? Thanks!

So one externally pipped and I saw no progress for about 8 hours. I used tweezers to gently pick at the shell around the tiny crack and yolk squirted out. It's back in the incubator now. What does the yolk mean?

I just got home and noticed that my humidity was a little low. (Today's hatch day) So, I looked at all my eggs and saw no pips so I opened it up and just as I was about to spray, I saw an egg with a little crack. I quickly misted the incubator, shut it, and adjusted it back to the normal...

It is the 29th day and still no sign of ducklings. I'm getting a little anxious. Should I be worried yet? I gave them all the water test again today and they all appear to be fertile. Maybe that will soften the shells and make it easier for them to hatch? Anyways, if there's no ducklings by the...
