Such a good idea!!!! I only have three hens one rooster I am so doing this. I think they started getting bored or something but mine are eating theirs. I've been collecting for a hatch because I planned to cull so once my week of collecting is over this battle is on! I would prefer not to cull...

Woo hoo!!!!

at the vein stage you should be careful with turning. usually by day 4 the yoke and veins pick a side to stay on. if you see veins it should be good. below is day 2 day 3 day 4 day 6 see the eye? day 8 egg gets darker.. day 17 see the slope? good luck I am on day 6 with my current...

I want to join!!! I am collecting my eggs this week I wasnt planning on hatching until it warmed up a bit but my chickens started eating their eggs and I haven't figured out who is doing it so have just been grabbing them as soon as they are laid. My rooster is a Plymouth Rock as well as one of...

Oh my gosh lol!!! Wow. Our eggs taste way better than the store!

Exciting!

Congratulations on your new babies Katie!  Have lots of fun with them.  I'm wondering, did you crack open the remaining eggs and take pictures of the results?  Would you have done anything differently? Thanks! There is one thing I would have done I dont know if it would have changed anything...

My first hatch is officially over ii started with 18 eggs and 13 made it to lock down 7 hatched with one being an assisted hatch. Out of six shipped eggs only two hatched but I'm really happy with the experience! And I knew going into it shipped eggs have a low hatch rate and these guys came...

I think the reason for them being upright has to do with being gentler on their air cells. Read the hatching 101 article the section on shipped eggs is really helpful. But it couldn't help to experiment and figure out what works for you. I liked using an automatic turner because it was gentle...

Woo hoo!! #1is pipping!!!! So happy right now here is to be patient and waiting even though its so hard not knowing what's going on in those eggs!!!!!

Ok thank you

Baby chick I helped after it started a pip but no progress after over twelve hours doing great Remaining eggs #1 3 & 6 moving/shaking #3 most active.

update [/quote Still shaking but no pips. I'm thinking this is barely day 23 though. I thought Monday was day 21 but I set them at like five in the evening so Tuesday at five would really be day 21 so right now I'm in between 22 and 23. And my temps were weird yesterday mornin. Should I hold...

So sorry about your dead ones :-( and your clears.

I ended up assisting the chick I helped pip. Slowly and carefully following the instructions. It's still in the incubator fluffing up and resting :-) Still no pips from the others but wiggling/shaking is going on still so I've decided to leave them be for tonight. I hope thats the right...

Quick update. I helped one chick make a hole and it is resting looks like it may zip anytime so I'm happy about that. Candled and tapped the others and was feeling discouraged all morning because I didn't see movement or hear chirping. But set them all really close together in an upward position...

I bet someone could help everyone is pretty helpful on here. It could help us learn.

Thank you! I was reading the article last night and was/still hoping they will come out on their own. But only one of my barred rocks is out and even pipped so I'm starting to worry.

Yay!!! Ok five are out :-) should I worry if the other eggs haven't even pipped yet? Or does evey egg take it's time? Sorry for all the questions.
