Im the proud parent of 2 beautiful new chicks! This is my first incubation and 2 have hatched heathy, 5 are on their way out and just one little one hasn't made any progress. This way probably on of the coolest and most suspenseful journeys I've ever taken in my life! I'm so happy and defiantly...
I'm on my 20th day of incubation and I have 8 eggs and 5 have pipped and the others are moving and chirping. My first pip was at 930 this morning now he's very slowly chipping away. How much longer to I have to wait?!?
An hour ago I put my chicks in lockdown I put more water in and and turned them the final time. I've been watching the temp and it's not climbing over 83 degrees. I have the incubator turned up to the highest temp and still no change! I'm so nervous idk what to do. I use a still air incubator...
This is my first hatch! I have 8 little eggs from my little mixed breed hens. The hens arestill a mystery to me as to what the are a cross with but I'm thinking leghorn/ cochin maybe. Well anyway they were bred to a full breed leghorn rooster! I can't wait to see what the little ones will look...

Hello! I've just recently joined in hopes of getting advice on my new flock of 7 hens and 2 roos! I want to begin hatching eggs soon using a hen. I've read tons of posts and info on how to begin the process and what to look for when deciding if a hen is broody. I still don't know what to do once...
