    Coop floor suggestions?

    Wish I had looked up this thread before buying and putting down all the bathroom (?) board I put down on the floor. This is an easier, cheaper and more durable option

    Well, something went wrong in the last few days for me. I do have 12 that hatched successfully but another 20 or so eggs that all seem to have drowned. I say drowned because it seemed that the inner membrane of some of the eggs i opened were full of liquid but all had fully developed chicks. I...

    on second thought, the thermostat incident should've sped up the hatch. it did take longer to turn the eggs with this hatch as we had to turn 4 egg cartons with the incubator open. I wonder if the all those times the temp dropped slowed them down?

    I am home for this one but I feel it would've been better if I weren't. I was so close to helping out an egg that had pipped with no progress for over 24hrs but by the time i went to bed it was the first one to hatch along with another. So far six have hatched and a bunch more have pipped. I...

    in lockdown since last night. good luck to all on your hatch... my wife did bump the thermostat and it must've been a tad high for most of one day last week. I candled before lockdown and they looked ok, movement, no bad smells, so I still have my fingers crossed Brookiesbrooder, so sorry...

    Anyone setting eggs starting July 15 -July 22?

    I left all eggs on their sides, they did get knocked around. it seems the only eggs i had problems with were the ones that i set a day or two after the rest.

    Anyone setting eggs starting July 15 -July 22?

    Well, I'm done with this hatch. Of about 36 eggs that we started out with we cracked four due to some problems with the motor for the egg turner....down to 32. Of those 32, 4 eggs were bad when candled on day 18, down to 28 for lockdown. 22/28 hatched successfully, I started opening the...
