It's a forced air incubator, kept the humidity around 45-50 percent with a temp of 99.6. I actually just had the first pip! How long until she gets out?

Hey there, I have a batch of 20 good, fertile eggs that have been candled and we're alive as of day 14. It's now 18 and no hatches! How long should I give them?? They are coturnix btw

Yeah unfortunately I agree... as of yesterday there was a bouncing baby chick, but today absolutely nothing. I have no idea what happened.

Positive. We actually have 2 reading the exact same. Any thoughts on whether or not that's a quitter?

That's Just a visual effect from the picture, in reality the humidity is about 55% in the incubator

Hey everybody, this is my first time attempting to hatch out some chicken eggs. We are on day nine and I just couldn't stand it anymore so I candles them. Is the following a quitter?

Hey everybody, I live in Florida and we have been having insane humidity fluctuations. Started incubating around 55%, which was hard to keep because of how dry it was, and now just ten days later we've had so much rain we have 100% outside humidity and 60% in the incubator. Is there any chance...

Hey there! I was supposed to get a silver laced wyondette and a speckled Sussex, but I'm not sure exactly what the second chick really is. I definitely have a silver wyondette, but I'm not sure whether the second brown colored one is a. Sussex or blue laces red wyondette.

Hi BYC! Just got these two new rescues, this time from a friend who had too many chicks. I have no idea whether they are what she said, she said a speckled Sussex and a silver laced wyondette. Any opinions?

I just checked mine... 10/10 developing! I could even see them kicking and moving!

Hi BYC! I will be candling some chicken eggs later tonight, and I am a total novice when it comes to incubation. So, when I saw no other thread about candling, I figured I'd start one. Mine are on day 7, what should I be looking for?

Thanks!

Here's a better picture of the legs

That was a weird picture. Here is a better one

Ok, so anybody who's been following my crazy saga has seen me go back and forth on what these two little decile are. However, I think I've nailed down what the orange yellowish one is. Is it a buff Orpington??

I'll let you know how it works! My only concern is the turner, for some reason it keeps returning to the flat position.

The legs are just standard white/pink, con has yet to develop yet. The comb that has developed resembles that of a wyondette to a degree..

Yes! The buff colored one definitely has some muff or beard growing, which is perplexing considering I had no idea there was any Aracauna or Easter egged color pattern like this. I will definitely post more pictures as the grow, I have been every two weeks so far.

If you couldn't tell, this is my biggest hatch ever by FAR. The only other attempt was 4 quail eggs in a little giant still air incubator, which miserably failed. Just got this new generic fully automated 56 egg incubator off the interwebs, and filled 43 egg cups! So, seeing as I've never done...
