    Assisting without an internal pip...

    Not a prank, believe me. Wearing a sports bra for 24 days is too much of a commitment to the bit, even for me

    Assisting without an internal pip...

    Do you know why chicks typically die without internally pipping? Is it because they run out of nutrients from the yolk?

    Assisting without an internal pip...

    Hello! I know this is a super controversial topic and that there are very strong opinions about whether or not to assist in general. I'm asking specifically about what to do if the chick has been trying to break through the inner membrane for at least 24 hours. Stats: - Local chicken egg...

    Incubating in my bra

    In a fun turn of events, I miscounted my days lol Saturday was actually day 21, and today is day 23. It's hard to see into the egg rn but she wiggled a bit this morning so fingers crossed :fl

    Incubating in my bra

    Well day 21 is here for me, there's a damp paper towel in my bra to keep humidity up, all that's left is to wait and hope!

    Bra incubation

    Yep! I hatched one in 2021. Very low success rate though.

    Incubating in my bra

    Posted this in my own thread but thought you all might be interested! This experiment happened in 2021 TLDR: It works, but not that well. (which we all knew by now lol) This was my junior year of college, and I wanted to witness "the miracle of life" so I bought an incubator and some quail...

    Hatching a quail egg in my bra

    haha weird that I did it or weird that it worked? Because yes to both :)

    Bra incubation

    Heya! When I did this last, I talked to several experts and the consensus was that a tissue or toilet paper layer is essential for keeping the egg separate from skin oils, and also for providing a small layer or air for the chick. Good luck!

    Bra incubation

    I did this is 2021 with quail eggs and I'm considering doing it again with chicken eggs! Love to see bracubation is as alive and well now as it was then!

    Hatching a quail egg in my bra

    Sorry for the lack of update! TLDR: It works, but not that well. This was my junior year of college, and I wanted to witness "the miracle of life" so I bought an incubator and some quail eggs. I was intrigued by the whole bracubation thing, so I gave it a try. It was clearly working, so I...

    Incubating in my bra

    Letti was moving and peeping for over a day and I should’ve just helped her the rest of the way but I wanted to give her a chance to hatch on her own. Alas, humidity was again my enemy and she ended up passing away on day 22 (four days late for a quail chick). I’m taking a break for a while to...

    Incubating in my bra

    Hi okay so I f***ed up, but technically there was nothing visibly wrong with my chick that hatched. It hatched completely unassisted and it was only me not thinking things through that resulted in her death. So I think we're 1 for 6
