So far so good! Had 1 quitter in the early group, one assisted hatch (air sac was on the side, she's out and good) and the later eggs are hatching now. All worked out!

Oh my ! If I had 2 incubators I'd have a lockdown one, but I only have one. That sounds like a wild month!

OK great, thanks. I'll give the humidity a little bit of a bump, but won't go full tropical until pips 😁

I'd guess 2 days

I found my hen sitting on some eggs a week ago. I was going to let her do her thing, but she abandoned the nest, so I took the eggs and put them in the incubator. I candled last night and they are further along than I thought, but there are some a few days behind the others (other hens were...

I feel the same way

No, it was like 83% hatched

20/24. A fox took half of them when they were about 6 weeks, of which at least 3 were roos and 1 was a hen (sex link).

I can't eat them, I am too attached, so I'll give them to someone else who can.

Want mine? I've got 11 you can have

I've never had more than 50% male, and it's I've used broodies before, but I didn't have a broody, so used the incubator.

This will put me at 13 roosters... Ffs. Just so disappointing. What an absolute waste of time this year has been across the board.

Ignore the very obvious roosters in the back of the top picture, those aren't in question at all 😂

I tried incubating this year. First batch was rough, the Guage was off and I didn't have a 2nd one in there. 2 hatched, 1 was picked off by a fox (we lost about 15 this spring, in a few days, but the run is sorted now) the other is a nice little roo. Second hatch went well. Some sex link, and...

20.

I'm using the severe dose. They all were drinking, but they stop a few hours before they die. There are only about 5 that I have any hope for, but I'm not holding my breath that any will be alive by morning. Less than 72 hours from start to finish.

Yeah. I see no improvement, they are going down fast. I doubt any of my spring hatch will survive.

My chicks are still dying, despite the corid. Happening so fast

So 3 days ago I had 20 happy healthy active 8 week old chickens. 2 days ago I went to lock up the coop and found 2 dead. Saw coccidia poop, and started treatment next day, yesterday. 3 died overnight. 2 more have died today, and all are showing signs. I'm going to lose all 20 within 48 hours...

OK so just wondering about some logistics. I got an incubator and put in some welsummer and Maran eggs. Turns out the temp gauge was way off, and only ended up with 2 chicks. So I decided to try another batch with just my barnyard mix and a second sensor. Yay! 23 little fluffy nuggets! (I am...
