don't temp me. Been collecting my own eggs for a week trying to decide if I should try them for the first time. They are from a pullet and young duck hens, though. Better to wait until a year old before trying?

so sorry. Just lost one as well, same thing. Ruptured yolk. better luck will come your way I am sure

Found 2 more AC chicks and 3 more pipping when I got home

Must have one! Got directions for the cabinet bator someplace?

Two Ayam cemanis out this morning! (and lots more pips)

11 including the two who have pipped/are zipping now

Got a zipper started on my AC eggs with another pipping.

mine was muscle weakness i am sure. Tried to put it in a chick cup, but the stubborn little chick wiggled out of it. Settled for force-drinking save-a-chick to it whenever I came by the brooder. The little think is tenacious for sure. (I'm gonna MAKE IT!!!!)

Two points for "Save-a-Chick" vitamins. Gave some to my little "problem child" who couldn't walk strait. It's now walking around fine

worked for me before. The chick I did that with is now one of my aunt's favorite pullets.

Never buying eggs from Papa's poultry again. Got a 0% hatch rate in the same incubator that gave me 50% on my shipped guinea fowl eggs. Bummed out. I wanted silkies :( oh well. 7 ameraucanas on lockdown and 11 ayam cemanis 3 days behind those. At least I have hope for them.

Jealous about the silkies. Picked up an eBay plastics incubator and the heating element is too small. Luckily I was just using it for lockdown. I lost about 8 eggs in the thing. I did get 5 guinea meets for my aunt, though. My ameraucana eggs and Ayam cemani are staying in the hovabator. I am...

How high should my brooder plate be above their heads?

I have two out now. I had to help one this morning. Noticed the pip yesterday morning and let it be until this morning. Knew it had been more than 24 hours as there was no pip when I checked the incubator at 3:00 early Monday morning and checked it at 7 both days before leaving for work. Good...
