    Hatching, need help quick!

    Hey everyone, My aunt is hatching her first batch of chick eggs. The first baby to hatch fell down underneath the hatching platform down by the water reservoir.

    Chicks in the incubator appear to be too hot!

    Thank you for the help! I will most definitely be getting a second thermometer to put in with the next batch. Do you have any suggestions on a brand? Where should I put it while incubating?

    Chicks in the incubator appear to be too hot!

    thank you so much for the advice! I lowered the temp and they seemed to be fine. When I was in between chicks hatching I was able to get most of them out and moved to the brooder :)

    Chicks in the incubator appear to be too hot!

    I don't have a second thermometer to check, but I need to get one if I am going to hatch anymore. My first hatch I had so many get shrink wrapped and I assume it was due to me opening and closing the incubator so many times to grab them out and move them to the brooder. I have also realized that...

    Chicks in the incubator appear to be too hot!

    I am hatching my second batch of eggs and I decided to take the “leave all the chicks in the incubator until the last egg has hatched” approach. My chicks that are hanging out in the incubator appear to be getting too hot. I noticed a few of them panting. I still have chicks hatching and I DO...

    Hey Everyone!!

    I just registered and I am supposed to introduce myself :) I have a mini farm with chickens, ducks, a goose, and a pig! This Summer I decided to invest in an incubator to expand my flock! I am currently mid hatch of my second batch! So far so good!! The tiny little fluff balls are so adorable!
