My sons friend brought over his incubator and eggs for me to hatch for him. He left eggs that pipped, but did not hatch in incubator for over a week. I cleaned it, bleached it, scrubbed it with soap and water, and let it sit in the sun all day. It looks super clean! I plugged it in, and OMG, it...
I am doing a test hatch in a Little Giant 9300 still air digital for a classroom. The temperature prob was at egg height, temps and humidity were fine. Then chicks started to hatch, and moved the plastic temperature prob, and the temperature went up to 105! I am working on getting it back down...
My 5 year-old daughter fell in love with these adorable grey bantam, clean legged chickens at a show this weekend. They have the signature chipmunk cheeks of an Americana. I am getting a pair from the breeder this summer. Here is the catcher, for the life of me I cannot remember what they are. I...
Can I realistically and successfully hatch and incubate in a cabinet incubator? It is either buy two incubators, or get a cabinet incubator. I do not want to have to move the eggs out of the cabinet incubator to hatch.
Do an SoCal locals know anything about the chickens roaming the parking lots at Knotts Berry Farm? They appear healthy, but we're concerned by what guest were feeding them. Does Knotts claim them, or are they strays? Admins please move my post if it is in the wrong area.

Today is day 21 for our eggs, they are for my sons science project/4H project. So far today, I have sang to them, gave them a pep talk, played chickie sounds, and even prayed over them...:). I am going to cry if none of them hatch...:(. Please tell me I am not the only one who does crazy stuff...
My son is hatching eggs for his science fair project, first time hatching. He put 6 eggs in, then 12 more about 24-30 hours later. We are headed into lockdown tomorrow for the first batch. I do not have another incubator, so moving them is not an option. Can eggs go into lockdown a day early?
