    Second Hatch is going GREAT

    My first hatch three weeks ago was a real disappointment with 9 chicks out of an original 40 eggs. This hatch I have 16 eggs from two different farms and right now I have 10 babies and three are zipping right along. I took notes from this board and made a list of what I felt I could do and I...

    I hear cheeping!!

    This incubation experiment is the most exciting thing I have done in a long time. Yes, sadly I lead a boring life. Anyway, my eggs are on day 20 and I hear cheeping from a couple of them. I think I have identified one of them. The egg is really rocking around. I posted yesterday about the...

    Egg On day 19 is now leaking some yolk--help!

    This is my first post, I am new to this fantastic board! I have 30 eggs in my new Little Giant Still air incubator. Today one of the eggs has a bit of dried yolk on the pointy end, I am sure that was not there yesterday. The little guy inside is still alive and he rocks that egg quite a bit...
