Well, I have to report that we decided to send the last hatchling to the brooder in the sky this morning. It was an easy decision as it was so tiny and so sweet, but it still could not walk and there was watery poo with a blob of blood in first thing. Fortunately he was the only one in the...

Ha ha! Thought it might! I have a few more grey hairs and I would love to say I'd lost a few pounds in nervous energy, but that would be a lie I will be watching your posts to see how you get on too.

Hooray! We have all 11 hatched now, although the last one took ages and seems a bit weak to me. Have moved 9 to the brooder box. Thanks for your support and advice Yorkshire Coop.

Well, it is 9am here in Hungary, and we now have 9 chicks. The last 2 are on their way and I'm pretty sure they must have a headache due to all the noise being made! I should think they are also fed up with being bashed about the incubator. I'm glad I helped the wrong way round chick, as...

I thought I would just add that I think one has mushy chick syndrome. It looks very much like the pictures on here.

I have just watched another 2 hatch. I think there is a problem with one, I'll have a look on here for it. I took the decision to take out the wrong way one and have a proper look. I managed to chip off a large section of shell without breaking any of the membrane, so I have now put it back...

We now have 2! The wrong way round one pipped this morning, 12 hours ago, but it has made a bigger hole now. It is a proper hole with no membrane showing. As it has air I think I may leave it to fate to see what happens. As a first timer I don't feel confident to start messing with the...

Ok, we have our 1st ever chick hatched. We now have 8 more that have pipped and some are now zipping. One is definitely the wrong end, but has pipped and has an air hole. Shall I leave it alone or what shall I do?

I have 9 eggs pipped at the moment, but I'm sure one is the wrong end. What do I do?

Thank you

I'm reading too much info on here and it is making me panic! I have not marked the air bubble on my eggs, I have been trying to not mess with them too much, I'm a great believer in letting nature do it's thing Is it too late to do it today? I am on day 21 and in lock down. Shall I just...

Oh! Now I'm worried about the humidity! Our Hovabator instructions say 75 to 85% at this stage so we have ours hovering around the 83 to 85% mark. Is that too high? Stress, stress and double stress!!!!! I was more relaxed than this when I had my kids!

Hi all, this is my first time incubating eggs and I feel like an expectant Grandmother!!! We are on day 21 and I actually saw an egg wobble this morning! At least one of the eleven that made it to this stage is alive. Is it possible that I heard tapping from one of the eggs? Or am I imagining...
