Thanks for the candling idea and it looks easy enough. I'll give it a try ! !

Well I've offered to hatch a dozen eggs for my neighbor. He has New Hampshire Red hens and my rooster from my last hatch, a big Americauna. I've got the hovabator up and running to get the temperature settled. This will be my second hatch and my last ones hatched Dec 6th so it will be like...

Hi Stephanie; Where did you get your digital thermo/hygro meter?

We have 7 chicks that hatched on Dec 6th..The first two weeks they were in the house, then moved to a brooder in the garage w/light in cage.. At 4 weeks they were moved to the coop with the other hens but they are separated with a box within the coop and have there own yard. We have had snow...

Could just be an unfertilized egg. Do you see any veining when you candle it?

Congrats on your hatch!!

Oh they are cute Melissa! I love my Americauna's We have 5 hens and then the 7 chicks, a couple are BR / Americauna mix.

I have helped my chicks when they get to exhausted or if they are shrink wrapped just dappen your finger with water and lightly moisten the membrane. One of my chicks I had to peel the whole shell off of it... You can move your other chicks also at this time if you want to. Just be sure to...

Did they change the Forum again? I thought the other day they had maybe not auctions but a 'for sale' area......

I bought a Hovabator 1520 (?) on ebay with the fan and later ordered the egg turner also. I loved it. My first hatch and we had 9 out of 12...the temp was very stable. I did add a drop or 2 of red dye to the water to make it easier to monitor it. Generally I found there is not a lot of...

Oh they are so cute, my babies are 6wks old now and I want to do another hatch, but I'd have to be able to sell them.... the market isn't too good out here from what I can tell. CONGRATS

If you are sure they are infertile I would throw them out. You can put them in a ziploc and put in the garbage or bury them, you don't want to take a chance of a smelly egg

You can try a heating pad. temp needs to be 98 - 100 degrees though and you need about 35 -45 % humidity. might be more trouble than it's worth.

Oh, I listened to mine to see if I could hear anything... usually by day 25 if your days are correct you won't get anything hope this helps

Hi, I eventually broke mine open, another thread said to put them in a ziploc and then break it open in case it has gone bad. You can get really good info on the thread "anyone Hatching?? newbies and addicts Welcome" they have some really experienced hatchers on there.. Good Luck

very cute!!

thanks for the reply Bikerchic sorry I have been offline for awhile. We have 3 roosters from this last hatch on Dec 6th and we aren't quite sure what we want to do with them...the 4 hens we will keep. But it might be something I will look into if there is a market for them. We are rural here in...

I have a peep from my hatch on Dec 6th who has one toe curled under. I think it is a rooster. Anyone know what I could do to fix it? I thought maybe I should tape it, but not sure what kind of tape to use.

Quote: I can just see you sneaking your little egglings in You should send him on an errand or something I always wait till he's in the garage or shower. I can set eggs fast!! I even started carrying a bag to work just for my egg smuggling Just curious. Do you sell all your...
