Hi! It's been a long time since I've posted on here, and probably just as long since I hatched any eggs. I'm on day 5 of incubation. I think I remember reading a long time ago about the eggs naturally producing their own temperature spike on one of the later days??? Did I dream this? I can't...

Last night before I went to bed, one chick had nearly completely zipped. This morning it isn't moving at all and I think it died before kicking out. There is a yellowish bit of goo coming out of the bottom of the zip. Did I have the rotten luck of another chick pipping it's yolk??? Does this...

I have 5 hatched out chicks in the bator. The earliest one hatched 8-10 hrs. ago and the latest hatched 1 hr ago. Other eggs pipping. Humidity at 82%. The dry ones are panting! Are they too hot, should I get them out to the brooder? Do I risk the rest of the hatch??? Help! OH- and it's a...

I have 44 eggs in a bator, three hatched, two pipped and one that's made it half way around his shell, but has been stuck for over 24 hours. He's still struggling valiantly, but he's got his beak out up to where his beak meets flesh and the shell is starting to cut into it. Since his beak is...

Hi, I'm Ali and I've been lurking for quite awhile and have learned so much from everyone. We built a 'bator as a homeschooling project and incubated our first batch of eggs. The 'bator worked great, but in my fear of under humidifying, I overhumidified and ended up with a batch of drowned...

Hi, I'm brand new, and want to introduce myself, but that'll have to wait. This is urgent and I really need an answer tonight or early AM. I'm dry incubating 45 eggs and we're on day 20. I've sealed it up day 18 and haven't opened it. Went to check on things tonight and one had a hole in it...
