    HELP Broken egg, chick still inside

    I like Hercules! We have a dog named Athena so that probably won't work out..thanks for the suggestions though! I sure hope you don't mind me keeping you updated on my little guy.

    HELP Broken egg, chick still inside

    Due to the hell he's gone through to get to this stage, I feel that Lucky would be a good fit! Any suggestions? This little one is a bantam of some sort. We have bantam frizzles, brahmas, and then sebrights so I have no idea what it'll look like when it's all grown up!

    HELP Broken egg, chick still inside

    I think my little guy is trying to hatch out! He's got a leg up from any other chicks on their way out as he's only got about half a shell to escape from but he's trying to break free now! @WalnutHill @AmyLynn2374

    HELP Broken egg, chick still inside

    Here is the little one! He's squirmed around quite a bit and stuck a foot out of the hole. We have him nestled in some paper towels in our incubator. As of now, the temperature is a steady 99.5 and the humidity is around 58%. There has been a huge change in this little fella from 24 hours ago...

    HELP Broken egg, chick still inside

    I had to set the incubator up last night without giving it time to run to stabilize the temp. It usually is around 99.5, but it was running a little high when I left this morning for school. What humidity would you recommend? I have it running a little higher than usual as literally half of the...

    HELP Broken egg, chick still inside

    Thanks guys! The little one is still alive and has improved significantly since I first brought him in yesterday. He's now chirping and wiggling around while yesterday, he was merely breathing. He's in the incubator at around 100-102 degrees with 50-60% humidity. @AmyLynn2374 @WalnutHill

    HELP Broken egg, chick still inside

    I have trio of hens that are setting on about 30 eggs. As of now, about 20 of them have hatched. One egg broke before the chick was ready to hatch and currently, about half of the eggshell is missing. The chick is still alive and breathing, but the inner membrane is still moist and highly...

    Eggs in the incubator

    I can turn it off, I just would prefer to not turn the auto turner off as I have 18 eggs in my incubator that I'd have to turn by hand. I have 15 Sebrights that are 1-2 1/2 weeks along and 3 Brahma mixes that were just added today. But what will happen if the turner is left on when the chicks...

    Eggs in the incubator

    I forgot to mention, I know that the most developed eggs are at least two weeks old.

    Eggs in the incubator

    Hi, I currently have 15 Sebright eggs in my incubator with an automatic egg turner and forced air. The problem is, I have no idea how far along these eggs are. My Sebright hen was setting on the group of them up until yesterday when we found her with a broken neck. I've read that you aren't...
