1 adorable scary honas chick hatched out under mom yesterday, no other action. How long do I let her sit on the rest before I call them duds?

Should I candle eggs from under a broody? We are in the first 48 hours under momma.

Boo! 3 Svart Honas eggs and 9 current mystery eggs under the hen yesterday.

I've had to clear this hens behind of caked on feces in the past, again cleaned her today. While she was upright in the bath she regurgitated brown liquid, didn't smell rotten but very foul. When we were done I emptied her crop and offered yogurt and fresh water. She also had two very healthy...

Thank you!! I'm not too familiar with proper color names yet :) Splash laced red roo, got it!

This girl is out of a blue laced red hen and a blue laced splash roo. Any idea what color she is?

So pleased with my first hatch ever! 5/7 Marans out, 1 with no action yet in the bator. 5/9 BLRW out, another pipped and a last one with no action yet. This has been so much fun, thank you!

Don't get to be home today, have 3 pipped Marans. One had a terribly dry membrane, moistened, refilled all the water troughs and cups, turned on my heater humidifier. Hoping all goes well with everyone today! Pip pip hooray!!

Eek! 2 Marans have pipped in the last 1/2 hour!!

I am beyond excited! First time bator, went through all the ups and downs of the LG incubator. Last night when I was moving eggs for lockdown I was astounded by the heft of my Marans eggs, I never candled them, WAY too dark even for our mag light LED. Best (or most disappointing) Easter weekend...

2 looked fine, think I all ready need new batteries for my light. I'm going to risk it and monitor for weeping eggs. Wednesday I'll candle again before lockdown!!

I panicked. Ripped off the lid and started frantically searching for something to fan them with! Taking my boy in to candle with me, hope they are kickin so he can watch them wiggle and jiggle around!

This is day 14, I have 12 eggs in is LG circ air Thank you for this ray of hope!

I'm so disappointed! Checked my bator and it was up over 104!!! Not sure for how long, impatiently waiting for night fall to candle.
