I double checked the other one and it is alive as well. I am scarred for life...never opening another egg that isn’t more than 4 days overdue. I oiled both membranes with a qtip and have them in the incubator with humidity up to 75% is that high enough @BullChick or should it be higher?

Oh my goodness. Dixie abandoned her eggs today and I found them cold. I candled them and thought they were both dead. (All the ones in the incubator had died and I’d already switched it off and cleaned it.) So I opened her eggs up to be sure before I tossed them and one of them is alive 😳😳😳...

One of the barnyard mix eggs hatched, and all 3 chicks are with the broody. 🤞 they are all happy through the night. They’ve been happily snuggled up under her all afternoon. 🥰 2 eggs under my broody still, 2 eggs rocking in the bator, 2 suspected dead in shell. hoping to wake up to some more...

Went to check humidity at 5 am and found a chick zipping, so made a pot of coffee and waited. of course, it decided to pop out when I went for a refill. 🤦‍♀️ Another perfect little Brahma/ameracauna EE! 🥰

First chick hatched last night (Brahma/ameracauna Easter Egger! Hope it’s a girl!!) and is now in the brooder with the ducklings. The other chicken eggs are now rocking and rolling one internal pip and one external pip. I expect the others will pip tomorrow. I have alarms set to check humidity...

I’ve tried selling on FB but it blocks posts selling livestock, just FYI!

First chick is out. The others are no longer wiggling and no one else is pipped so I’m a little worried. 😔 I’ll check on my broody in the morning. None of hers had pipped either.

Pile of 5 duck babies in the temporary brooder I actually have 2 Cayuga eggs wiggling, one Cayuga hatched and passed away this morning 😔 no pips from chicks yet but some good rocking and rolling going on

We are up to 5 ducklings now. I think the remainder of the ducks other than 1 Cayuga might be DIS, but we will see 🤞 I did have to assist. I think because they were a bit early, they were struggling, and also because of the drop in humidity last night, they were all a little stuck. Plus, duck...

2 more external pips overnight, and My first Easter baby is out! I did help a little because the humidity had dropped down to 28% overnight and I could see the membrane f Was turning brown, but the bill was peeking out. I lost a couple ducklings to shrink wrapping during our last duck hatch so I...

So we have 3 early pips from a couple runner duck eggs and some other eggs have started rocking and rolling. tomorrow is day 25/18, but I’ve gone ahead and taken out the turners and bumped up humidity. im a little worried that they are already starting to hatch this early! 😬 It’s my first...

3 days in, our broody buff orpington has finally figured out its best to sit ON the eggs. watch this space 😂

My (first time) broody is as dumb as rocks. 😂 I sort of knew this going in, but her ditziness is endearing so I thought I’ll just have to keep a close eye on her. after going out to poop eat and drink this morning, she went in and sat and puffed herself up right in the middle of the coop. On...

Look at her little face. She fluffs herself up so big it’s adorable 🥰

Thanks for this advice! I was sort of hoping out of laziness, that I could stick all the chicks with her to let her brood them. 😆 i do have some Barnyard mix eggs in there that are going to be for meat that I’m not as “worried” about hatching, so I might give her a few of those, and then if she...

So I think one of our buff orpington hens is broody. She’s one of my favourites so I really hope so! (She is also our rooster’s favourite and is bald from where is latches on to her to mate, so a break from mating would be really good for her poor head!) I will wait a few dats before giving her...

I am IN! going to set runner duck eggs and possibly some Brahmacana eggs if my other Brahma starts laying! One of the two girls FINALLY started today at 8 months old, and I’ve got them penned with a lavender aracauna too as I want some green eggs in my basket!
