    Day 19 and one chick hatched

    Hi and Using an incubator is a totally different story than letting a broody hen hatch them. You have got one chick out so far so that is awesome, even though he is earlier than expected. In the incubator do you have the eggs out of a turner? Are the eggs on "lockdown?" I would only let the...

    One Egg Hatched - Eleven more just sitting there! Help!

    incubation question on cortunix eggs

    A 12 for 12 hatch that is great! In my personal experience, after day 9, fertile coturnix quail eggs are dark inside and clear ones are infertile. I hope this helps and good luck with your hatch!

    Peahen setting

    Thank you so much for your advice. The peahens were one last year. On average, how many eggs does a peahen lay per season?

    Peahen setting

    Last year was my first year that I was serious about hatching eggs. So, when the peahens started laying theirs I left them to see if they would go broody. Instead of them going broody, they stepped on the eggs and squashed them. Has anyone else had this happen? After the squashing incident I...

    Hatching chicks and ducklings together?

    I love them. This is my first year with indian runners so I am still learning but so far everything is great. I would highly suggest this breed of ducks.
