    Little Giant Incubation Experiment - Day 21 - Hatch Day!

    Adorable. The chick doesn't have spraddle leg right? If not I would try the wry neck treatment, and see if that helps at all. http://www.fresheggsdaily.com/2014/04/preventing-and-treating-wry-neck-in.html http://www.raising-happy-chickens.com/wry-neck.html Outside of that, I don't know. You...

    Little Giant Incubation Experiment - Day 21 - Hatch Day!

    If you have the brooder set up and it's heated at one end to 95+ put them in the brooder under the light. I move mine while they are still wet to the brooder and they fluff up so much better under the light. It's hard to fluff up when the humidity is raised. I, personally, wouldn't worry about...

    Those probes are more of a problem than anything. Hopefully it didn't compromise the rest. It's very rare that doubles can successfully hatch, that's why so many are against even trying. I'd make sure that the hatchers were in the brooder with water supplied so they can rehydrate.

    You are welcome. If you go to youtube and search twin chicken hatching (or something to that effect) there is a video of a hatcher helping twins hatch. It is rare, but she managed to have both survive.

    Most double yolk eggs will not make it out w/o assistance, so if you haven't I suggest reading the assisted hatch thread and making sure your humidity is up.

    Get one mercury thermometer, take a glass fill it half with ice, add cold water let sit 2-3 minutes to come to tem, put your mercury thermometer in it. If it is accurate it should read 32 degrees. Make a note of accurracy or how far off it is so you can adjust. Put the mercury thermometer in the...

    Yes, higher humidity usually results in a slight drop in temp and as humidity "dries up" temps raise. That's one of the wonderful things of running dry when you can, you have less of those fluctuations. I don't weigh eggs either, I monitor air cells. As long as I monitor my cells I know if and...

    Little Giant Incubation Experiment - Day 21 - Hatch Day!

    I'd consider running humidity a tad lower on next try. The styros especially seem to do better with a lower humidity. I use this method: http://letsraisechickens.weebly.com/blog/throw-away-those-incubator-manuals-understanding-and-controlling-humidity Eggs should get lighter during incubation...

    Did you check air cells or weigh at all?

    Little Giant Incubation Experiment - Day 21 - Hatch Day!

    Tonight would be the start of day 21, so you still have time. If your temps were a tad low for the average you could see a slight delay in the hatch. Personally I would give them until tomorrow evening to do something before checking, but no, opening the bator isn't going to kill them. The...

    Little Giant Incubation Experiment - Day 21 - Hatch Day!

    Still air incubators should be maintained at 101-102F. The thing is with the 9300 is the gages are notorious for being wrong and most people I know have to set the bator 1-3 degrees higher to get the right temp inside. If the chicks hatch out late, make a note of that and next hatch adjust temp...
