I have no idea what kind they are just normal regular chickens haha but okay one chick has been hatching for atleast 4 hours that I know of and one just hatched in about an hour.. Should I help? Or not? He's so close he just can't pop it off!
Good news!!!! I got home from school today and 3 of my chicks have hatched! 1 is currently hatching while I also have 3 new pips! Super happy about this since my duck eggs didn't make it:(
Well I have good news since my ducklings didn't make it! I came home from school today and three of my chicks hatched and one is hatching now! As well as 3 new pips!
The temp is 95 humidity like 75 and only two barely externally pipped.. I moved them into a different incubator for like close to two days and we forgot to add water.. I believe this is what killed them:(
Well everyone.. I got home today and poked on each egg.. Not hearing anything at all I started slightly helping crack the shell and I saw that the membrane was very darkish, looking as if it had been cooked.. I just decided to open it and my baby was dead.. The membrane was tightly sucked onto...
Thank you all so so much! I think my humidity is good now I just added water last night I believe they just need a little more time! I'll keep yall updated
Awesome thank you so much! I did have humidity issues but it is now raised! I am thinking just give them more time they are nice and cozy in there! Two days ago (In the old incubator that didnt have humidity) we could hear one pecking at its shell! We moved them to our newer incubator adding...
I honestly have no idea what breed they are if I'd have to guess I would say Pekin? It is day 31 and i only have 2/7 that have slightly SLIGHTLY pipped. Im getting worried!
So I put my eggs in lockdown but then had to move them due to the incubator acting up. Are they okay? I set then small in downward. One has began to pup and I was wondering if it's normal for their air sacs to be at the top of the egg for hatching?
So my eggs are due today and I am so excited I laid them down in a different incubator I hope laying them down is okay. My teacher said it would be fine one has began to Pip! I am so excited! Is there anything else I should know? I take them out of the incubator 48 hours after hatching correct...
Thank you all so very much for all your great advice! This has helped so so much! Can't wait for my babies to hatch and hens to recover! I will keep yall updated on their progress
Thank you so much I defiantly will!! One more chicken question before I head over to the duck section.. Our mother hens feathers are off on their backs.. Is this because of the rooster? Do we clip him? Or get rid of him? What do we do?
Hi! I am 17 years old and I love ducks! I decided to incubate some! My little babies are due oct. 12!!! I'm so excited, although I am a candling addict. I'm wondering how often I should candle my eggs? I just finished and they are moving all around! Makes me so excited!
