    Duck Egg Candling Photo Diary

    How did the duck eggs turn out? I put 5 in an incubator, had to toss one and two other look a little off to me. I'm hoping at least two hatch because if I only have one I will love it too much to let it be just a duck.

    Duck Egg Candling Photo Diary

    You could probably just let her sit on them for a week and candle after dark. Toss any eggs that don't look fertile. I personally tried to let a broody hens hatch out two different broods but I lost so many eggs because of other hens laying in the same boxes, they just couldn't be talked into...

    "Springing in the Chicks" 2016 April Hatch-a-Long Hosted by Mike & Sally

    20 of my 27 eggs hatched. They are a hodge podge of big stock and one lonely game chick. I help the last one to hatch, he was pipped for over 24 hours and started to get stuck. I looks like he may have a slight beak malformation and I'm hand feeding 'Spot'. I don't think he's going to make it...

    Last night was on and off again sleep. Woke up to two babies out and the first one to pip was stuck in his membrane my humidity is up, but I think he rolled too close to another egg to get out quick enough, lesson learned! I helped him wet the membrane and broke the small strand he missed and...

    Eggs just started pipping!

    I've got 19 eggs under two hens as well. So far 4 have started in the incubator, only 23 more to worry about. I was hoping to see one before I got to sleep but I doubt I'll be sleeping much. I had no idea how much I'd worry about them. I may do mostly broody hens from here on out.

    Eggs just started pipping!

    This my first hatch of any kind and I don't know any one else personally that has hatched out their own chicks so no one understands how excited and nervous I am. I can't seem to tear myself away from the incubator window. I've made two loaves of bread, done tons of laundry, hand washed all of...

    Just went on lock down for my first hatch. 28 mix of RIR, red and black sex link, game fowl, and some barred rock mixes. I also have two broody hens with 10 eggs under each. I'm so excited/nervous to see how many hatch!
