Congrats!! I learned a lot during my first incubation process. It was exciting, yet painful. Final count 7 out of 9. They all Have yellow dots on their heads and 2 are little miracles. My second day of hatching was hard. I had one that unfortunately had a shell from another hatched chick...

Oh no! I'm so sorry ;(

Here we go!

I found this helpful when I decided to start hatching my own eggs. https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/5/incubating-hatching-eggs

Did it hatch by itself? That's a long time!! It did! Crazy huh??

Congrats!!!!! I love these babies so much If the yolk is absorbed, it should be fine ;) Keep posting, we love it!

Can you set your alarm half way through the night? My last chick that hatched, had a pip for 3 days. It was the longest 36 hours of my life.

Congrats! It's coming! I've got 1 pip too! What an exciting night for our group!

Please keep us posted. I hope they're ok!

I agree! It's a lot of fun ;)

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been absent. I broke my foot Friday. My 1 & 2 week old babies are doing great and I went on lockdown last night for my 9 eggs. Bumped up humidity and heat has been steady. We should see some pipping any day now! How exciting! I can't wait to see photos of them all! I'm...

I agree and would wait a few days. You just never know. It could just be a slow grower.

I may look into that. I'd like to just set my temp and humidity and walk away. I've been upstairs very hour, all day. I'm at 60% and 99.5 Ugg.

Thanks! I have two thermometers that are giving me different readings and my humidify won't stay put. This is the part that's frustrating....

I think it's coming ;)

I canceled mine today that went in on 8/12. 2 were Yolkers, a few were obviously going strong, but I have a few that I'm still questioning. There's an air cell, but the egg had a lot of calcium in it, plus the egg is a darker brown. It's really hard to see any blood lines. I'm hopeful tho! I'm...

I would have zero issues with paying that for quality birds. I'd love to have silkies, but we're in Indiana and I don't know much about their cold tolerability.

This is what momma has been doing all morning, not wanting to sit at all. This is my week old baby and I think it's a "he". He's feathering out and his comb is protruding sooner than a pullet.
