Yorkshire Coop · Aug 20, 2014

Hi yes if the egg is starting to smell I would remove it from the incubator.

No probs glad to help first time incubating is nerve racking, in fact all incubating is nerve racking and exciting all rolled into one!! I find each hatch just as addictive as the next. I forgot to post last night ( not sure what time you are on it is night here) still air incubators should be running at 101-102f. Good luck with your hatch and please feel free post any more questions, keep us posted. :fl

Yes, I have good memories of hatching chickens when I was a kid. So, I thought my grandchildren would like to see a chicken hatch. I have peeps 6 weeks old and my grandson loves them and they love him back.

It is 4 p.m est here now. What is the time difference? Will keep you posted.

It is 9.15 pm bst here. Great to hear your grandson enjoying chickens. I have some polish who are fab for children easily tamed and just love being with you sit on you and go to sleep while having cuddles. I incubated these my self ,I have some 7 week and some 11 week.
