    What is the ideal humidity for hatching in an incubator?

    Yikes. I start my hatches with 3 cups of water in the incubator and eventually it gets down to about 25-30% for the balance of the time till lockdown. I boost the humidity starting day 17 to 50-60% and then on up to 75% for day 18 and beyond. You can get a digital thermometer/hygrometer at...

    I'd love to have a hatching buddy?

    I have 8 frizzle eggs in the bator at the moment. 2 more weeks til hatch. I know at least 1 is infertile and I am questioning 2 others but really good movement in 5 of the 8. Not taking the questionable ones out til I am sure they aren't developing as with the last hatch I had a slow...

    I'd love to have a hatching buddy?

    No I am sorry to say she lost the fight and I have had a really hard time forgetting about her. She was definitely a fighter. Then I lost 2 more the following day. One from asperating water some how and the other one was suffocated by her brothers and sisters. :(

    Help Chick born with unhealed abdomen GROSS PICS!

    Mine fought hard for 48 hours and I thought she was doing well and boom- gone. Lesson candle well before cracking eggs open. She was under cooked and should have left her alone. Hard lesson to learn!

    I just set 8 frizzle eggs today. I am nursing a chick that's abdomen didn't close and she is fighting like he** to stay alive. Please say a prayer for her. I think she is determined to be here! We are calling her "Baby"! WARNING-graphic photo!

    I'd love to have a hatching buddy?

    I draw the airsacs on the egg at days 7,10,14 and 18 so I'm sure the biggest part of the sac is up at lockdown. Has worked well for me.

    New to Hatching - and chickens

    Did you lay the eggs on the wire mesh on day 18 or are they still in the carton? If you didn't lay them down on day 18, may be why you have a bottom piper. I am just as addicted to this as you.. This is my 3rd hatch with 3 olive eggers, 7 Easter eggers and 2 speckled Sussex eggs. First hatch...

    Water candling day 14 and I have 2 sinkers

    I just water candled all my eggs that are on day 14 in the incubator. I have 2 sinkers. Should I be worried even though light candling shows an active chick. Please don't criticize me for candling- I know the risks. I'm looking for some help please from more experienced people than me. Thanks...
