    Help, not sure any of these eggs are going to hatch.

    From experience I've learned put the eggs in on day 18 make sure humidity is good and do NOT open again till chicks have hatch. I lost 13 out of 21 pipped eggs and it's very upsetting after all the anxiousness of waiting and enjoying lil pips running around. Good Luck

    Hatched Chicks damaging unhatched eggs???

    I am having this same issue w/ some of my newly hatched chicks (they come out of the egg w/ what looks to be their "insides"). Were you able to find out if your chicks had prolapse or not and is there by chance a cure for this?

    I need emergency HELP!!!!

    This is my 3rd year with chickens and still learning, chickens are very dependent and independent at the same time it seems. I wish I had known she wasn't coming off the eggs during the day or I would've put a water & feed bowl in for her. She was one of my best. I just hope the eggs she was...
