    How to know if chicks are internally pipping?

    My egg that had a hole cracked in it from my hatched chick was dead also. The crack happened right at the beak but the chick wasn’t ready for the outside world yet :( thankful for you all because you encouraged my Eggtopsy and I learned so much

    How to know if chicks are internally pipping?

    Thank you!! I think I’m going to have to crack one open that is cracked. It got cracked at the wrong end and chick hasn’t had movement in a few days. I’m new to this too, so I’m terrified. You were brave to crack your little one out.

    How to know if chicks are internally pipping?

    I’m going through the same thing. Day 25 and one egg hatched on day 23 almost 24 and they are 4 eggs that have been candled with movement inside. I even see internal pipping in at least one. We have a Janoel12 with an hygrometer-thermometer probe inside. Temps at 98.4 and humidity is 69%. Not...

    Day 22

    Thank you! And yeah our humidity was higher then we would have liked in the beginning (first week), week 2 everything started getting to temp and humidity and has been great since. Last 3 days the humidity climbed to 68-70% but I was told it was the chicks trying to hatch. Not touching the...

    Day 22

    My mistake it was technically day 18. I took it out the tray late at night on the 23rd almost the 24th (2nd shift worker). Day 21 was yesterday April 26th. I was advised at 19 days but I read on here prior 18 so that is when I pulled the tray. And you are completely correct, can’t count my...

    Day 22

    After candling the rest it looks as if we will be having at least 4 chicks sometime soon. They had movement and pulsing! Just not sure how many more days they will take, since we are at 22. I’m worried because rotation stopped on day 19.

    Day 22

    So candled one out of the 6 and we definitely have movement and a chick! Didn’t look like any internal pipping yet through but the air sack was still intact and big. Thank you for your help!

    Day 22

    We use an external thermometer from the incubator. So it is safe to move them and candle them this far in?

    Day 22

    Hey everyone we are at Day 22 of 6 eggs in the incubator. I candled them about 6-7 days in and saw development in all but one (because I couldn’t see through the dark, hard shell). Well here we are at day 22 and there is no pipping or anything going on. Temp and humidity are where they should be...

    Bantam Rooster looking for Bantam hens in West Michigan

    We have a Rooster named Carl that is just not happy with our big hens. We have no bantam hens so he is trying to mate our big hens and it just isn’t working. He ends up falling off their backs and pulling more feathers then he should. He was doing great when we had bantam hens but now he just...
