IBYB I am new and just learned how to put in smileys.

Fairly frequently our ladies give us a double yolk. They are huge. I have wondered if it would hatch twins, if one chick would absorb both yolks (Chickzilla), if one yolk just wouldn't do anything, or if it would hatch at all. Maybe one day I will try one and see.

Thank you, they got to move into their new brooder home today.

Thanks for all the great advise. I am going to try to candle tonight and let her hatch a few. Any advice for having new chicks in the coop?

Thank you for the information. Most of the information I asked about came off of this site. I have just told my daughter, this is my "Chicken Bible". I didn't know to collect the eggs and then bring them back. I have seen on other threads the saying, "Seeing a hen sit on 40 eggs is cute," I do...

I am having a problem. We have eggs (hatching as I type) in the incubator. This is my first time incubating and I have spent all my time learning about incubating eggs. Meanwhile, I have a chicken that started sitting on eggs (also a first for me and my hen). We have 1 rooster and 14 hens. She...

Thanks for all the welcomes. Thanks for all the good info and vibes. Hatching started yesterday. We have 12 chicks so far and a few more unzipping. It is so exciting.

My babies are hatching today!!!!!

Keep a belt or something beside your bed. Every morning before your feet hit the floor, wrap that belt around your big toe and pull up. Start with a count of 20 for about a week or two (whatever you are comfortable with), then move up to count of 30. Do this 2-3 times on each foot. You will feel...

I have just started my first round with the same incubator. Did you buy a gycrometer (sp?) for yours? If you really needed it, wouldn't they have sent one?

I ban you because you are not as new as me!

I have been reading BYC for almost a year. Thanks for helping me through. I am now hatching my first batch. I am very nervous. With all the "chicken experts" on this site, I keep this site up almost constantly.
