She hatched out three new babies today and we added the border to keep her enclosed so fingers crossed? Thank you!

My silkie mama recently hatched two babies. Within two days she had smothered one and one had somehow gotten away from her and got too cold I’m guessing. She just hatched two more and I’m trying to see what would be best. She has a light in a coop with a box to lay in with her babies. Should...

I’m supposed to put my eggs in lockdown today. I am a newbie with a 20 egg sailnovo. I am incubating serama eggs as well as some silkie/polish crosses. The digital humidity says 36, the two dial humidity gauges say 58 and 52… I am stressing! Any tips? Here is a picture of the condensation if...

Yes free from drafts, in our bathroom currently. They have not been outdoors yet. Just normally we always feed medicated chick starter but my husband just told me that they were out so he has bought non medicated chick starter. I’ve got one back to looking decent , but the other one died...

One just has audible very runny diarrhea...

These chicks feel cold, but we have had chicks the same way for 8 years and never had a problem. These are the first that we hatched ourselves and didn’t buy from a store.

We hatched chicks last Friday and until then they’ve all been doing great. Tonight we found one dead and two that are not doing well. They have plenty of food and water, warmth and I put some chick booster in their water today but that is all that has changed. We are new to hatching our own...

Her toes don’t want to open... she kind of splays when she tries to walk too. She ascots painful when I lightly squeeze on her upper leg on the worst foot. We’ve just been trying to massage her feet to the right position. I’m a vet tech so I have access to most things if I know how to help...

This was the last baby born. Any tips on fixing her feet or is she doomed?😩. I have a video of her walking but I’m not sure how to post it. She splays them out when she’s trying to walk and one side especially just stays curled... thank you in advance for any help!

Thank you!!! I pulled off the top carefully and it came out on its own in a couple minutes. Thank you!!!

Any tips?

Is there a trick to helping? I’ve never done this before and certainly don’t want to harm her or make her bleed out.

This is our first time with eggs. We’ve had 6 hatch and this little one pipped about 3pm yesterday. It’s now noon and 21 hours later. I still hear it chirping from time to time and moving. Do I just continue to be patient or help? Thank you so much!

Is this one bad?

The rubber mat seems to be making it really hot! Or maybe just taking the holder out?

Does this look ok? Temp seemed to go up all of a sudden after I added the rubber shelf paper and took out the egg holder. Keep it at 99.5? Humidity 65-75?

Great idea! Thank you! should I put maybe some of that rubber shelf paper in so they have some stability?

I’ve been really having to watch the humidity in the incubator... after day 17 and I leave them alone, what if I need to add more water? Can I open it to do that?

Last question... maybe 😂. They are 14 days today and all 5 remaining appear to be good. Do I just leave the eggs like this for hatching? Or should I take out that tray the last three days and lay them on their side? Any ideas? I’m kicking myself for having such a bad incubator.. I feel...
