I have the same issue, and I did place mine in at night, but the older ones did not accept the new ones. I think they need to be the same size to do that. My older ones are only 2 months older, and they were hurting the little ones, so I caged them separate next to each other. For the past...
I agree too. I have 5 that are only about 2 months older than my babies and the older ones keep pecking the heck out of them. I've had them separate, but gradually been introducing them as the babies are getting bigger. I did not leave them together all day, but just a visit. I have been doing...
Hello Everyone!
I wanted to thank you all for supporting me through my first hatch. The last 3 eggs I had did not hatch. 1 was scrambled inside and the other 2 had chicks, but were not fully developed. I am excited that the one that did hatch are very healthy with no crooked toes or spayed...
Ohhh~ so jealous of shed shopping!!!
I have 4 in the broader box. and they are so cute!!!
I candled the other 4 and cannot see movement. They are brown eggs and it is really dark inside. So I did something stupid and awful! I had one that I could not see movement in early on, and it looked...
I am on day 23 and out of 8 eggs, I still have 4 eggs left. Will they hatch? How long do I wait?
I think I might have shrink wrapped them. My temp all of a sudden dropped to 95 and then humidity dipped to 45 and went back up to 100 after about 5 minutes. None of them are pipped yet. What should...
Okay- I have 2 out in the broader and 2 still pipping. One is almost completely pipped, but stopped moving. I hope it is okay. I hope I did not damage anything while getting the others out. The temp and the humidity did not change when I did it, so I think that is not the problem. Once I figure...
I have one baby out of th egg and fuzzing up and I have 3 eggs with pips!!! NOW WHAT DO I DO????? LOL! Do I leave her in until maybe another one hatches or do I take her out into the broader box? Do I clean her vent area...how? I am sorry for so many questins, but she is so cute and I do not...
THANK YOU LUTZ!!!! I will feel much better if I have an arrival tomorrow! I did have to open it all the way for about 2 minutes to fix something on the thermostat, but closed it immediatelty. I did not loose humidity, and only a slight temp loss. I hope it does not effect it. I am so anxious!!!!
Should I candle? I candled one last night and all I saw was a dark shadow. I think I will wait another day. Ugh~ I will be so depressed if not one hatches
Woke up this morning...ran o the incubator....and ...........NOTHING!!!!!!! Oh please let there be a hatch!
Oh- and I had purchased some chicks a few weeks ago and I think I have a roo! Yikes, cnnot have a roo in a residential area! What do I do with him?
It is 1am here in Illinois and not a thing yet. I have been on watch all day as if these things were made of gold! Hopefully some action soon. What do I do if there is none? How long do I wait? Thursday is day 21!
Good night all
Day 20 and nothing yet.
I woke up this morning and my temp was at 102! Got it down to 100 by cracking the bator, went to the store to come home to 16% humidity and 102 temp!!! AHHHH! I will be praying and pacing all day! When I get a pip, the whole world will know!
