Yeah I don't know what I was thinking after I did get rid of my five guineas, I have two eggs in the bator getting ready to hatch.
What was i thinking? My husband said lets just pitch em and pretend like they did not hatch. I just couldn't do it. Maybe this time they will be...
I just hatched out some black jersey giant and rhode island red mix and barred rock and rhode island red mix and they are identical. I can send you pics. May be a jersey giant.
My two month old silkies either pile up on top of an old chicken transporting box that I turned up on its side, in a pile in the corner of their pen or I have made two long roosts that have a ramp leading up to it in one of the baby pens and they make their way up there sometimes. If I see two...
Well both mine died. They started smelling. UGGGGGGGHHHHH. Now I have 15 more in the bator. They were almost fully developed too. I really don't know what happened. Oh well. Here is to trying again. Good luck to everyone and I will keep checking in. Make sure everyone posts pics. I did...

Ummm no. I am glad you told me. Ok now so it is a good thing I have two bators huh . I have so much to learn. Do you have any more tips. So not all duck eggs take the same amount of time to hatch? And humidity level? I just thought that all duck eggs took 30 to 33 days to hatch...
I love them. They are soooo cute. I have 12 duck eggs in my bator right now. This is my first time hatching duck eggs. They are a mix of scovey, runner and swedish.
Ok I just got my new hovabator in the mail today and have it all set up. I have been using a lg and will continue to use it. My hovabator has a turner. I think I have figured out all of the quirks of the lg. Does anyone have tips for me for hatching with the hova bator. I have only heard...

Well I still have two turkey eggs under my mama duck and they are still moving. She hatched out a chicken today and another was pipping this evening. Cute cute cute. It is a Black Jersey Giant and RIR mix. I took the chick and am letting my golden lace seabright that just had two babies...
Yeah sometimes they just get tired. I have had to help a couple of times. But you have to do it very carefully and only little bits at a time. If you pull little bits off and see any blood put it back in the incubator and let it sit for a while longer. I would go with your gut feeling. I...
Yeah you can get a small bright flash light and take one of the eggs somewhere dark. Put the light up to the big end of the egg and you can see all of way thru it then they are not fertile. If they are dark and have like a hollow spot at the big end then they are fertile. That is really the...
