Popping out like popcorn now with no problems!!

I had quite a few more pip last night and one has started to zip and all membranes look nice and white. So I'm thinking I caught it just in time!

I usually dry incubate and bump it up at lockdown but they had already pipped before I could get it up. I'm hoping since I have it up to 70% now everything will go smooth.

Not sure how it happened but I'm on day 18 and already have a pip. I might of wrote on the wrong calendar day who really knows. But I have a pip in an external pip and lots of internal pips and humidity was at 38%. Is there still a chance I won't end up with a bunch of sticky chicks? Last hatch...

So I went out this morning looking for one of my missing ducks only to find her sitting on a clutch of eggs in the chicken box that she hid under the 3 inch layer of hay.

My BSL hen has feathers missing on her back. I assumed it was from the rooster just being to rough. So I kept her away from him for a couple of days and let her heal because it looked a little raw. She was fine after that and was happy to go back. But now that it's been a week she's missing...

Yes I have a rooster that is the same age. Thank you for the information.

How long after a hen has started laying her first eggs do you wait to incubate? My RIR and RSL have started laying and I would like to get another batch ready to be brought up.

Has the time come that I might get an egg?! I have never raised chicks to hens before. All other chickens I have been given were already laying. So this is new territory for me. My mix of RIR, red sex link, leghorn and a barred rock are 18 weeks. And I've noticed a couple of girls have bigger...

Thanks for everyone's feedback!

My 4x4 brooding box is in my unheated/air garage. During the early part of the year it was cool enough that I needed to use a heat lamp. But here we are 95* weather and heat indexes up to 110 that it gets very stiffling in there. I do have a couple of fans to push air around. But since I have a...

Day 22 still had 2 eggs waiting even though everyone else hatched on day 20. Did a quick peak around 530. One had externally pipped the other one only internally. Heard quite peeps. Cooked dinner and sat down to eat. By 615 I could hear very loud peeping so I took another peek and the one that...
