you have probably already read this but just in case... https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/goose-egg-hatching hope it helps! good luck!

that's great! i plan on trying different ways until i find the best one. what was the room/incubator humidity without adding water? my room only stays at about 25 or less.

it's a very good idea. i think it would work as long as during lockdown they are placed with the air bubble on top. let us know!

i just got 2 little giant 9200 bators and they are working great! they just changed models from the 2010 to 2012 version and the new one has great upgrades. i got them on sale for $35 but they usually run $45. the turner is the same price. they hold 40-80 eggs depending on type and size.

sorry... i don't know what i was thinking. i think what i mean is that if you raise the humidity for lockdown and then have the eggs up front that still need rotated, you can open the bator quickly and rotate them and replace the moisture with some squirts of warm water. this should not harm...

i just got a nice LG 9200 at tractor supply company for $35

your humidity sounds about right. how long has it been trying to deshell? hopefully it's out my morning. good luck.

you can lockdown the ones that seem ready an then add the others. just add them quick and give a squirt or two of warm water to replace the humidity if needed. it shouldn't be that big of deal.

you are in a tight spot. either way you are doing something that people will say is wrong. in lockdown you should not open the lid. it loses heat and humidity. however, it is very important to turn the eggs in the early and middle stages. i assume that you can't get a second incubator for...

sorry about having to put it down. :-( great to hear about the otherwise successful hatch! i had 2 ducklings hatch today! it was amazing! my first duck hatching. they took forever from first chirp to being outside the shell. about 36 hrs. they are sooo cute! not fluffed yet though.

i leave mine in for at least 24 hours. some say they are fine for 3-4 days. i usually can't stand it and take them out sometime around 36-48 hrs. for you and your new chick!

i know how you feel. i am going through the same thing! my 1st duckling egg started piping last night. now i have 2. they are rocking back and forth and chirping. i WANT to help them but i KNOW i shouldn't.

What kind of incubator are you using? If it has venting holes are they open? Do you have water dishes in there to add humidity? I wouldn't do too much to change it... Its not extremely high.

Haha, I get your question now about how many times to feed it. I was thinking you meant all of your chicks, not the sick one. Lol

Very sorry to hear about your chick. I am a new incubator as well. I had my first batch a couple days ago and I also had one chick that had legs that were not right. Very sadly, I had to put it down. I actually put it in the freezer since I figured it would just kind of go to sleep. It was very...

I am assuming that you are doing chicken eggs? If so, that humidity is a little high. They are usually around 60 or 70 during lockdown. If you are doing duck eggs then obviously they are a little early and that is about the perfect humidity for them. As long as they are chirping and moving...

I purchased a LG #9200 a couple weeks ago for my first chick/duck hatch attempt. I am finishing this batch and wanted to make the lockdown process a little easier so I went out and bought a new LG #9200 yesterday. It's quite different than the one I got a couple weeks ago. A little research and...

i got another incubator yesterday. another 9200. i figured it should make things a lot easier to control going into lockdown. not to mention i can hatch more eggs! :-) i think i am going to take my first 9200 back and exchange it. my new one is totally different. i guess they changed models in...

thanks so much for the reply. this chick was basically in a half shell and would try to break itself lose from the other part of the shell but it was stuck to it. i'm pretty sure our first mistake was messing with it at all. i think we were just in panic mode this being my first time hatching...

Hello. I am on day 20 of my first chick/duck hatching attempt. Let me start by explaining what I have done and then maybe I can get some feedback on what I have done wrong or what was just bad luck. I have a little giant 9200 (the $50 from TSC). I have it in a closet in the house so the temp...
