    Help! Humidity problems with chicks!

    Hi everyone! I need some help with some incubation issues I'm having. Today is day 22-23 for these chicks, which are Buff Orpington and Wyandotte mixes. The cabinet incubator I am renting/using is a GFQ 1202, large and holds temperature steadily but requires lots of water because of the fan...

    Quail Chicks born with deformed feet!

    Hi everyone! Yesterday afternoon, I realized my quail chicks were hatching in the turner. I let the ones that were hatching continue to hatch, and then moved all of them to the hatcher with a high humidity. I believe several are shrink wrapped, although the humidity in the initial incubator was...

    Candling Eggs

    So I’m on the last few hours of day 17 now, approaching day 18. I candled a few eggs today just to see the progress. When I candle, a lot of the eggs are empty on the bottom/pointy end, or there is a wavy network of veins. However, when I tap the shell, the dark mass moves. These eggs are Easter...

    Faulty Incubator

    So about two years ago, I had naively purchased one of those Chinese no-name incubators- a stacked one that holds 112 eggs. The first time I used it, the heating element failed after about two weeks. I tried to salvage as many eggs as possible, but I didn’t have any backup incubators and hours...

    Chick dies after hatching

    This morning around 7am, I watched a chick hatch. It’s day 22 today, and I thought everything was ok as it was running around. Another chick was shrink wrapped and I was waiting for the pipped eggs to hatch before helping. The shrink wrapped chick is ok now, but the chick that hatched at 7 am...

    Shrink wrapped chick!!

    So I am hatching a large batch of eggs at the moment, and have had all sorts of problems. From one chick hatching with an unabsorbed yolk, to another hatching through the wrong end. Right now, I have opened the bator to transfer around 1/3 of the chicks to a different one, just so that they...

    Unabsorbed Yolk!

    A chick hatched this morning around 6am, and I immediately noticed that there seemed to be a good bit of yolk under her and something was bleeding- it was clear against the paper towel. Today is day 20. I then took it out of the incubator quickly and placed it back in its eggshell in a cup in a...

    Emergency!! Bird egg out of nest

    Yesterday we had a pretty bad storm. My neighbor found some eggs that had already started pipping. One is still breathing but the other’s air cell is horizontal. I candled it and I’m unsure if there’s any movement. I think they are doves but I can’t be sure. I put them in the incubator but I...

    Internal Pip for more than 24 hours?

    Hello everyone!! A week back I had a chicken who was sitting on a mixed batch of eggs...I’m pretty sure when she got off her eggs to eat and drink water, other chickens came and laid more eggs in her already developing batch. So when it came to hatching time, only three of hers hatched and the...

    Incubating Geese Eggs

    I have one goose egg left viable at day 25. He looks very close to the shell and in the last two days the air cell expanded a lot and slightly dipped down. I can see him pushing on the air cell and hear a faint clicking which I believe is him breathing. I think he may internal pip in the next...

    What will happen when only one egg hatches?

    Hi everyone! I need some help with my goose eggs. This is my geese’s first year laying (white embden) and I know that the fertility and chance to hatch is really low but I tried it out anyway and put them in my incubator. I put 8 eggs in first and none of the eggs were older than two weeks. 2...

    Hello everyone! I’m new to BYC but I’ve searched behind the scenes here for a long time so I finally made an account! I first got chickens around a year ago and now have a small farm comprised of chickens but also some other animals. Right now I have a barnyard flock, mainly golden comets and my...
