The last time I tried to hatch I did open up the eggs to look at the chicks. The chicks were fully developed but were kind of dry. I'll make some changes for next time. Thanks for the help!

I did calibrate the thermometers and stuff to make sure they were working properly. And thought they were supposed to have a high humidity unless I'm confusing the chicken eggs with when I hatched duck eggs. ill have to try again but next time with lower humidity and hopefully I'll be successful...

The first 18 days the temperature was 99 F and the humidity was 65% the incubator is still air and these eggs are my own. All the eggs I've hatched have been from my own chickens. I always have my incubator running for three or four days before I put in the eggs and I've been doing everything...

Hi I've been trying to hatch chicken eggs. I've done this several times now, and very successfully but now I don't know why but they aren't hatching. When I candle the eggs, I know they're ferliized and developing. I check the temperature and humidity twice daily to make sure it's just right...

When they were hatching, for awhile they were on news paper and I've always used that in the past with no problems at all as I took her out of the nest, I noticed her leg and when I did some research, I did see you shouldn't use news paper so I switch to paper towels and now they've been on...

Okay so I've got this chick that is like a month and like 18 days I believe and she had a splayed leg. I attempted to fix it after about a week, I thought it was perfectly fine but recently I noticed it's gotten a lot worse and it hurts her a lot she hates it, but I've started back up with...

This isn't in age order I messed up if you swith the two in the midlle around, it'll be in age order

Here are some pictures and as I was taking the penguin looking one with fuzzy feet out, he was so heavy and chubby compared to the others I think he might be a Cochin mix because he hated being picked up just like by Cochin rooster and would shut up just like him the only thing about him that...

I do know which ones are which because I was writing it down every time one hatched (more than four did hatch but I only have four left) and the types..... Well I have a bunch of different types of chickens. I have two roosters one has like 2 or 3 daughters and one son the son I know is the...

At what age can you tell a hen from a rooster? And how do you tell them apart? I have one that's 20 days (I don't really have enough time to do weeks so I'm doing it in days), one that's 13 days, one that's 10 days, and another that's 5 days. (The huge difference is because my brother forgot to...

Okay, so everyday I've been holding the one rooster and now he's fine with me, I didn't expect him to actually be close to his old self I do know that most likely I will be getting rid of his son and any other chicks that end up being roosters because I heard that for every one rooster, there...

BThe one that attacked me is 4 years old. I really don't want to get rid of him I've known him since he was a few seconds old! I watched him hatch! I really can't get rid of him I just love him so much. His father hates being picked up, but he's still nice and let's me hold him sometimes. Now, I...

I currently have two roosters and about 17 or 18 hens (plus I have 4 baby chicks not sure if they are hens or roosters yet but I do know one is a rooster by the way he acts so I probably will get rid of him I don't want mean roosters) and they are both perfect little angles. They are very nice...

Okay so I did put the tape and pipe cleaners on her toes and she was still walking around about the same and when I went to check on her this morning, she was lying in the water bowl dead so.....

One of my broody hens has hatched 5 chicks as of today and the one that hatched last night has curled toes they are both feet. The worst two toes are the middle ones. I've looked up how to fix it, but it won't stay still and chirps really loudly every time I touch her feet. She also can't walk...
