So I had 8 chicks born between 4 /14-4/16. I lost one 3 days ago and there is still one that I'm very concerned about. Like the one I lost 3 days ago this one is extremely tiny. Like half the size of the other chicks including one born after it. Its like it hasn't grown at all since it hatched...

My heating lamp just went out and my little chicks are only 2 days old! Can I use a heating pad under the brood box to keep them warm? Will that be enough till I can get another bulb tomorrow?

I woke up to this little one that hatched a day early! Lol I was checking for pipping and got quite the surprise! The egg next to it has pipped too! They are part of my Easter Hatch-a-long clutch!

Does anyone have a temp and humidity sensor that records your data and send it to an app? If you do, do you think its worth it? Which one do you have? I would really like one that can give me warnings too if my incubator gets to hot or cold. I have found a couple on Amazon but the price is a...

3 out of my 16 remaining eggs have piped! They aren't due till tomorrow (July 1st) so they are a tiny bit early but so far so good! Fingers crossed that everything works out and we have a bunch of tiny chicklets running around in a day or so!

I have 4 mason jars with a sponge, 2 small shallow dishes with a sponge and 2 large pans with sponges under the eggs all filling with water and I can't keep the humidity above 65%! I can't fit more the maybe one more jar in the incubator now. I'm on day 19 right now. I never had this issue last...

I just candled my babes this afternoon on day 13 to check air sacks and I am not sure if its gotten big enought for the incubation time Humidity has been between 30-45% since setting them and its at 41% right now. Anyone know if they look ok? If they don't what should I do?

So I'm still pretty new to all this and I made a DIY incubator last year and didn't have much success! Out of 3 sets at about a dozen each, I only have 3 chicks (1 in the first set, none in the second and 2 in the third) make it to hatch day. So when a friend offered us 17 eggs to hatch for him...

I have no idea what is going on. Almost every time I try and load a page after a min or so it keeps jumping to the bottom of the page and wont let me go to the top. I cant read any forms and I have trouble writing anything. It takes me having to copy and reload a couple times to get finished...

After 2 clutches since April and only one successful chick and all the other eggs being dudes. I finally have 3 eggs that look like there is an embryo growing inside! I didn't hold much hope for these eggs because they were a last minute decision..lol..I went to my friends house who I got my 1st...

and 4 out of my 6 that didnt hatch (1 chick hatched) looked like they were hard boiled!!! My temps were never higher then 101 mostly 100 on 4 different thermometers! I dont know what went wrong. I turned them 3-5 times a day. I have 2 fans in the incubator to keep air moving so to cut down on...

(Sorry scared new Mama here....lol...) My very first chick just hatched at just before 11pm EST last night so it is almost 12 hours old now. It really isnt trying to walk much yet. Its flopping all over the place and moving but not really standing yet. I was under the impression that chicks will...

My one and only known viable egg has piped on day 20! I was even worried about it being late because it seemed small the last time I candled it! I also was worried because I never saw it move from the outside and even quickly candled it in the incubator last night to make sure it was moving and...

We are in lockdown and on day 2 of it. I cant get the humidity to stay above 50%. When I put warm water in it will shoot up tp 60-70% but drop right back down to 50%. I have 4 small containers with sponge clothes in them filled with water and one large aluminum pan under the eggs with more...

I have a little bit of a dilemma. I thought my 1st set of eggs were all duds so I found and ordered some Easter Egg eggs. I found out a couple of days ago that I have one living chick growing in one of the 1st set of eggs. It was to late to canceled my egg order and I received them yesterday and...

I had given up hope for any chicks with my first batch of eggs because at day 7 all of them looked clear! All looked like they were unfertilized. I have been waiting on new eggs since day 7 and decided keep them in the incubator and re-candle them just for the fun of it last night on day 11. One...

I know Im going to sound like a broken record here but I have no one else to ask. I have 7 eggs and I have had nothing but issues with them since I got them from a friend. She said all should be fertile because her hens are always with her roosters. Anyway some eggs were really big one I cant...

My 1 year old just accidentally turned off my power strip that everything is plugged into :( I know it wasn't off that long because the incubator is in my living room and I can see the thermometer from my sofa and I look at it all the time during the day. But the temp was down to 93! Has...

I set these eggs over 48 hours ago and I just tried to candle them to get an idea of if any are progressing. This is my first attempt of hatching eggs so I have no experience beside looking at photos online of candled eggs. Can any of you see anything in these, that I cant? One eggs shell is so...

My very first set of eggs are in the incubator! I tried to candle them and I'm pretty sure 3 are not viable but I have never candled before so I put them in the incubator anyway. I only have 7 eggs so I'm hoping we get at least 2 chicks. I'm so nerves that none will make it because I have never...
