    Hatching Day 20

    I candled at day 18 then waited and candled at day 23 and saw no movement on day 23. One pipped internally and I could hear it peeping on day 19/20 thought I would awake to chicks on day 21 but nothing. No more peeping. It was a huge bummer. It’s my first time and I bought a cheap farm innovator...

    First time hatching eggs- day 21

    And the chick that pipped. I had a guess what egg the peeping was coming from and I was wrong. This little one had quite a bit of yolk left too and blood veins. Do you think it just broke through the air sac too early? I first heard it on day 19 but didn’t see this egg move ever. The last time I...

    First time hatching eggs- day 21

    These chicks were moving when I candled at lockdown. (Day 18) and a few of the eggs were wobbling on day 19. Do they look underdeveloped for that point in the incubation? Lots of yolk left to absorb and lots of blood veins it seems, I have no experience so I don’t really know what I’m looking for/at

    First time hatching eggs- day 21

    Since I hadn’t seen movement last candle and hadn’t seen or heard anything on day 23 I decided to candle again. I didn’t see movement so I started eggtopsies. Here’s what I found… I’ll post pics, maybe someone can guess what happened…

    HELP!! farm innovator 2450 FAIL

    Has anyone used the GQF thermometer/hygrometer in another brand of incubator and do they seem accurate? This one: https://www.gqfmfg.com/item/3018-incubator-thermometerhygrometer/ I want to run a few on this next round and make sure they are calibrated. My incubator def has cold/hot spots but...

    First time hatching eggs- day 21

    Morning of day 23… nothing yet. When I candled yesterday I could see any movement, but these are dark speckled eggs (well summer and maran) so it’s really hard to see in there. The air cell looks really good and I couldn’t see that any had internally pipped (although one did because I heard it...

    HELP!! farm innovator 2450 FAIL

    Thank you!! This incubators I’ve had read anywhere from 102.5-105 to keep at 99-101 at top of eggs and humidity reads 50% on the display when my two other hygrometers are saying 60-75 It doesn’t maintain very well at all. I’m trying to figure out what I could do differently to help it...

    HELP!! farm innovator 2450 FAIL

    They were… I had 31 total but 4 ended up not fertile and never started. I tossed them at day 10. I have cheap digital ones, I’ll check to see if I can calibrate them. I’d like to get a better one(s) I heard Govee and Brinseas are both good… any suggestions??

    Hatching Day 20

    Yay! I hope they hatch! I’m on day 22 and they have stopped moving, so I have my doubts 😥 I’ll be excited to hear yours hatch though!! 🙌🏼

    First time hatching eggs- day 21

    And also that’s good to know about day 18 and not much movement after! Is it because the chicks are too big to really move much? The main thing that has me worried is on day 19 I could hear one peeping and see 4 or so eggs wiggling and night of day 20 could hear peeps but no eggs moving, then...

    First time hatching eggs- day 21

    Thank you! It’s definitely a bummer for sure. But I’ll try again and do my best to learn from this batch! I wish I knew what exactly went wrong so I could avoid it next time! 😥
