    Four out of six have hatched so far. The fourth pipped, zippered, and hatched out in under two minutes.

    BYC's 14th Annual New Year's Day Hatch-Along - 2023

    I did set eggs on the 11th but forgot to enter the contest. I only set 9 because my chickens aren’t laying very much right now. Three did not develop, so six made it to day 18. Three have hatched so far with a fourth one pipped. Nothing yet from the last two.

    BYC's 13th Annual New Year's Day Hatch-Along - 2022

    I did get one more, but had to intervene, as it has been pipped for over 24 hours, wasn’t zipping, and I noted decreased movement and peeping. We’re calling it “Turtle” because the poky thing didn’t want to come out of its shell. 😊

Unfortunately, we discovered at...

    Lost Over Half of Incubated Eggs, First Time Incubator

    The brand of the incubator is Kebonnixs. I bought it off of Amazon after reading the reviews. I did not verify the temp/humidity. What sort of thermometer/hygrometer would you use? The eggs are from our flock, they are various breeds, some from TSC, some that were given to us by a friend (Barred...

    I’ve had chickens for three years, this past summer we let two broody hens raise chicks, but I recently bought an incubator and decided to hatch chicks that way. It’s just a small 12 egg incubator. We started out with 12 eggs and immediately found out through candling that one wasn’t fertile. A...

    I just set chicken eggs on December 11th, didn’t even know about the hatch-along. I’m excited to be part of the group.

    Nearly Drowned Hen

    Thank you to my daughter for this update. Our chicken is back up and walking this morning, seeming to act fine. I don’t have any antibiotics so I hope she doesn’t get pneumonia. Does anyone know if that’s something I can pick up at a farm store?

She does...

    Still labored breathing. I have her under a heat lamp to try to warm her up.
