the chicks are so cute...congratulations everyone for new babies..

you either will hate it or you will love it. I get my eggs in bad shape and I love it. But I decided to put x's on my bad airsacs this time. I am going to lay down the ones that are not wonky. I actually never layed them down before cause it was reccomended to me to leave them sit up. But how...

oh no... from 2 different eggs... just the only 2 that look alike in my flock.

ultrasonic humidifier... what is that... share please. I had a bunch of shrink wrapped chicks... I would love to control my humidity.

did you open the bator since they first pipped? I did that and my chicks got stuck... it dried the membrane (which was already sticky) some chicks take a LONG time to get out... once he zips..it will be no time. I had a chick pip and it sat like that for a whole day. I figured it died after it...

Mine did that too. Once it was all fluffed up, I QUICKLY snagged it and put it in the brooder.

thumper, i only got 1 chick bouncing around on the other eggs. I have 5 pips.... I was up every 2 hours last night with the baby, and after she went back to sleep..i snuck into the 'chicken room' to check on them... nothing was happening last night. so frustrating.

I am no eggspert... but I chose this method after a lot of research. I incubated shipped eggs. Also, I live in Puerto Rico...so my eggs have gone through a lot to get to me. I lose about 50 percent of my eggs in the first candling. Most all my shipments have at least 1 or 2 broken eggs, no...

no, that is where crossbeak's eggs was. this chick is sitting in an empty spot. This chick is moving around and walking on the eggs, like a cheering section. I have now a total of 5 pips. I am hoping they all zip today.

hey guys... right before bed I found this little cutie. i should name it popcorn..cause it had to of popped out... I hadn't seen any pips.. i closely looked and there are 3 pipped shells. I read that some ppl have had pips on day 20 and hatch on day 21. So far, cross beak and this little...

Annamarie... I know how you feel. I keep looking the bator. about cross-beak, it had a deformed head And one eye was missing. My husband culled it. It was gurgling bubbles out of it beak after 12 hours. I couldn't stand watching it suffering. I did some more reading and it could...

i havn't hatched a chick before, just button quail. i haven't had good luck with shipped eggs and Puerto Rican power outages that last too long. My first batch of chicken eggs didnt make it. But this is my second batch and I must say I did as best as i could on this one. The power went...

I woke up at 3 am to find a pip in my blue Andalusian egg... is too early for them to pip. This Morning it has it's beak out more. CROSS BEACK..poor baby... I don't think it is going to make it. Started too early and has cross beak... also piped in the middle of The shell, not the top 1/3. I...
