    Omgosh.....did it make it? Nest way you bark your eggs. What day do you do that?

    Egg leg....as we affectionately call it is doing great. I have several more that are on day 17. Hoping they will do better. I will post results. Fingers crossed!

    Weirdest thing I've ever seen!

    I always and have almost 100% success with that but it shouldn't be the norm which seems to be the case. I'm hoping with the ones coming up I have some that can come out by themselves. I just have to figure out what's causing it. Thanks!

    I have them in an egg turner. Have several that are at 17 days. I wonder if it would help if I repositioned them instead of the more upright position the turner puts them in to a side position?

    Can't imagine how it got the leg out.....this is the second so far but the other wasn't as lucky. Could this be hereditary ?

    Weirdest thing I've ever seen!

    I've been having a horrible time trying to incubate. Made a lot of changes/ adjustments to improve hatch with little improvement so far. This is what I came home to tonight....a leg jutting out of the egg. Chicks head was at narrow end of egg. They seem to be unable to come out the right...

    Chicks dying during incubation - *graphic pics*

    Well...I have lowered my humidity but was having trouble with the reptipro maintaining a consistent temp. I contacted the company and discussed the issues I was experiencing. Since I was currently incubating they sent me a new version that was upgraded to eliminate the problems I had...

    Chicks dying during incubation - *graphic pics*

    Course never fails...we had a tornado yesterday and lost electricity....incubator got down to 87. I was able to take it to a friends but wasn't sure if it was too late. Checked tonight and saw life....now will they make it to hatch?? Humidity is at 29% and seems stable. Air sacks look good...

    Chicks dying during incubation - *graphic pics*

    I have pics and was hoping someone could give me input. Using a reptipro 6000. Just got a hydrometer to monitor humidity but had greatly reduced/ eliminated any added moisture since I lost two during the last hatch. Had to help as well. The pics show 4 fertile eggs but none surviving to...

    Itchy chick?

    Love the name! Her/his toes look really good today and I haven't seen any sign of the itch twitch. It's so cute! Very feisty too. I am still trying to get my incubator straight. Tonight I candled my 7 day old batch and saw a lot of activity. I am trying to dry hatch to hopefully correct...

    Itchy chick?

    I put booties on and then removed them the following morning as it seemed to really bother it. I'm surprise to be saying that both issues are almost non existent this evening. Holding my breath but I think it's made a turn for the better. I have always said it the miracle of the third day. I...

    Itchy chick?

    Little background....using a Reptipro 6000. Am pretty experienced at raising chicks but usually raid the nest after the hen is done and take the leftover eggs. Just doesn't seem right to leave them. That being said I'm learning a lot about incubating and of course making many mistakes. I...

    Currently going thru a bad experience too. First time user of a Reptipro 6000 and I think humidity was too high. Have had to help each one out so far. The last one I decided to wait as it was very active and actually had the shell rolling around. Checked the following morning and chick was...
