    I heard chirping this morning and was incredibly happy, but nothing has happened since and no more chirping.

    Day 22 and no pips

    I have tried talking to them, playing other baby chick noises for them, laying my head on it and listening, etc. There's definitely no movement and no chirping. :(

    Yes, I candled at those days and everything looked great.

    Day 22 and no pips

    I'm using a little giant incubator with a fan and turner. I took the turner out at day 18. I'm hatching RIR and a few barnyard mixes. The temp has been 99.5. Humidity was 45-50 the first 18 days but it has hovered between 75 and 80 since day 15. I can't hear any chirping if I put my ear to the...

    Day 22 and no pips

    Day 22 is just starting and no sign of anything happening. I'm super stressed! This is my first time attempting to hatch. I followed all instructions perfectly. Can someone please try to assure me there's still hope?

    Chick Identification

    Nipple Waterer

    Thanks everyone. I'll try a little longer and see if my chickens get the hang of it. I think maybe they're just causing a lot of water loss when they use it. I've had it less than a week.

    Nipple Waterer

    I'm not positive. It's always wet underneath. I see water droplets on the nipples so I think that's where the leak is.

    Nipple Waterer

    I just bought a nipple waterer at TSC. It is the hen hydrator if that matters. It seems to leak a lot. It's constantly wet under it. This is not going to work for me. Is it just that my chickens haven't figured out how to use it well enough so they're getting a lot on the floor? Or does this...

    Loosing feathers already

    Thanks for posting this question. Mine lose feathers and I was starting to worry. I have one that just started laying and is 21 weeks and has lost quite a few.

    I accidentally killed one of my chicks.

    I'm so sorry. I would be so sad too. Try not to beat yourself up. It was an accident.
