Yes, I mean, I have four that are farther out, like maybe a week away from hatching, plus the 10 I just set that are only a few days in, so all of those I'm still turning. The last 3 are in lockdown in a separate incubator, so I'm not turning those. They should hatch any day now...

All right, my three little babies have a little grippy pad down in there, and I took out the turner, replaced the inner circle cover. Hopefully the humidity stays up enough. It's officially d-3 on the display. We keep having to turn the air conditioner on, and even though it's not in the same...

How often should I be hand turning? I obviously won't be able to do that overnight, or as frequently as an automatic one would be.

Guys, I have a question. I have three eggs that say d-4 so they are about to go on lockdown. Then I have four more that are about a week behind. And now I got one more from my girl this morning I threw in for the 4th of July hatch. My plan was to pull the four out and let them share the 2nd...

Whoops! Friendly reminder to check your turners! Mine wasn't actually seated properly bc I set it up in a hurry, so good thing I checked!

Houston, we are GO!

One of my larger-combed hens is also looking a bit like this today. Did you figure out the cause, or what helped?

Thank you, I will! I finally have three eggs developing in my first clutch, four I need to pull, and five I set today. So now my plan is, (not to play too much musical incubators), I will set up my egg storage fridge and keep the eggs from my best hen until it's time to set. I have one great...

I'm going to try! I am very new to hatching, so this will for sure be an adventure!

So of course there was no development there. It inset some more and sure enough I have three nice little eggs developing! The timer says they are on D-15. I set five more today, and I know four will need to be pulled. So I can see how it took two weeks for her old eggs to clear the cue, so...

Can you increase the humidity?

Sorry, I was trying to conserve space with the other kind of spoiler boxes. I guess I'm kind of rusty with this whole BYC thing! Lol

...and the rest...? I just don't see anything that looks like clear development. I thought I would be seeing blood vessels forming on at least *some* of these here. I set the eggs almost a week ago, last Sunday evening, so 5/19. (These were taken Saturday evening 5/25). She had been with...

Hi guys!!! Sorry I've been away and it's taken me so long to reply to @Nifty-Chicken 's kind request! We are here, still chickening away! We did re-home our dicks sadly, but it's made our chores quite a bit easier only having one kind of bird to care for. We also lost our big white dog...

Well, she's my chicken. Could she have had that sort of respiratory infection without me realizing? What would the other symptoms be? We discovered mites in the coop, so this past month we have been battling that. Pulled out all of our usual deep bedding and put down cardboard and minimal...

Here entire footpad is completely swollen on each foot (circled in blue), and there is what looks like only a tiny speck of a plug in the middle. It looks to me as if I could have seen a plug previously, and was able to push it out, but maybe there was still active infection going on...

I tried that yesterday to start, but there is almost no scab / plug, so I can't really scrape it with my nail like I wanted.

I just noticed yesterday one of my chickens has tiny little bumbles, with very very puffy, swollen footpads. I gave her a soak, but it's way too tightly plugged for it to push out any time soon. Is Fish Mox a good choice to treat this type of infection? I also have fish pen.

The coloring maybe looks similar, but my Ruby doesn't have any muff / beard action going on. I'd say EE is a safe enough bet!

I'm a fellow February 80s baby as well! 😇
