    How low is to low and how long?

    Thanks for the response. That is what we are thinking around here. I was planning to wait till the temp had normalized for a few hours, then candle them. I was going to look for movement, but am unsure if there would be any movement after only 9 days of development.

    How low is to low and how long?

    Dog gone it! This morning when I checked the home-made incubator, I found that the light had went off, and the temp had dropped to 60 degrees. When I frantically opened the lid to change the bulb, the light came back on. Crap! Makes me want to spit and cuss. Twenty five eggs, and a week of time...

    Pip the chick: two days old.

    I found 5 eggs hatched overnight. That makes 6 out of 13. I reckon I'll give the rest two more days. If they aren't hatched by then, I guess they didn't make it..

    Cool! I see 3 more eggs that have pipped. Two just a little, the other a lot more. I started with 13 eggs in there. Threw one out cause it was clear. If I get 50% I'll be happy as pappy.

    Pip the chick: two days old.

    Yahoo! We have a pip. It is one of the Road Island Red daddy and unsure mommy. It is a brown egg and I have a Road Island Red, 3 Americana, 1 Plymouth Rock and the one Brahma - Bantam. Maybe it is the Road Island Red mommy. Hey! Pip is two days old now. Should I keep it separate from the...

    Pip the chick: two days old.

    Here is Pip. Pip's coming out was this past Friday. Pip is anxious for it the other eggs to hatch so they can pal around. While Pip waits, there is work to be done at the key board. I heard some peeping in there a while ago. I haven't seen any more piping though. I seen that the humidity had...

    Homemade incubator temperature question.

    I have some hatching now that are in an incubator I made. The temp got as high as 110 twice, and to a low of 85 once. Each time was less than 30 min. Otherwise the temp varied between 95-103. One chick hatched Friday, and there are 12 more eggs to go. I heard some cheeping in the inc. a min...

    My first chick hatched out.

    It will be interesting to see how Pip will look when it grows up. I see the feathers on its legs, and a wide body like its mother. Its father is a Road Island Red, Any of you guys have a pic of a Road Island Red-Brahma Bantam cross?

    My first chick hatched out.

    Yesterday, and right on time, my first baby chick came out of its shell. I named it Pip because that was the first thing I seen. There is no audio in this video. An explanation is provided on the video comments section. Anyway, I am very pleased that even one chick hatched in my home made...

    Do you clean eggs before putting them in the bator?

    I read that you are not supposed to clean the egg because of, there is a protective coating that would be lost, and cleaning could drive bacteria into the porous shell.

    I seen it moving in the egg!

    I made a candling box today, and tested it out tonight. I was so surprised to see one moving inside the egg! I was very happy because it was the first time I had successfully did that. Before that, I was worried about the eggs. I have them in a home made incubator. It it heated with a light...
