Thank you!

We have 6 HEALTHY babies!! All 6 made it through the night I pulled the last 3 out of the incubator this morning and let them join their siblings! They all are eating playing and have defecated their first little green poos already! So I think we are off to a good start! My last little one...

I took the 3 out that hatched at 5 am and left the others in! I have two out and one hatching! I’m not sure my 7th one is going to make it I haven’t seen any action!

Silkies!

Ok I have 5 healthy babies so far at the end of day 20 out of 7. The first pair started hatching at 4:30 this morning. My last two eggs are not pipped yet. Can I take the early birds out they are quite restless or is it best to leave them in for a little while longer. I was going to take...

thank you everyone!! This is truly amazing to watch from start to finish!

3 out so far…2 more pipped…2 more wiggly ones left to go!! :celebrate:jumpy

Yayyy my first baby has hatched and is doing great!! With two more on the way!! Question…do I need to lower the temp as it rises? Or do I just let it be? One EGGGGCITED chicken mama!!!

Thank you so much for the advice! I do have a cover for it I just didn’t show that because it’s not cute lol any suggestions on the heat lamp? Maybe move it to the other side? This is only temp as I will have to make a bigger one as the chicks get bigger! Thanks for the help!

My chicks first 3bedroom apt with a loft :jumpy Any suggestions?

Here’s what it looks like

I’m sorry it’s a triocottage

Does my incubator do that on its own? It does not have options to vent.

Thank god!! I’ve been reading it should be bumped to 70-80% so i was really worried!

Hi!! This is my first time ever hatching and raising chicks! I grew up on a ranch but chickens are new to me! I’m so egg-cited to hatch my first set of silkies! I’m looking forward to all the great tips and advice on this fun new journey to my dream homestead!! 😊🐣

I’m kind of freaking out now though I have moved them to a warmer room but I’m having trouble raising my humidity about 60-64% temp is great and maintains between 99.5-100 I’ve added more water and covered with a blanket but cannot get it to rise? Is this enough humidity for them to be able to...

this may be a really silly question and I may be just overly excited…I have 7 silkies going in to day 18 and lockdown day 2. I’ve noticed one of my eggs is extremely active and this morning completely spun her egg around. Does this mean she’s close to hatching?

yea I def didn’t mean free range I meant to say they will be let outside supervised but I just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t missing anything vital to their survival and success. But this is great to know, the organic feed is expensive so if reg. Feed will do fine for now as baby chicks then...

Thanks so much for the info. I miss spoke when I said free range they def. Will be kept in a coop/run when not supervised. I will be getting other chickens that are more hearty but my silkies are def. Going to be more of a family pet than anything. I was really stuck on whether vaccines where...
