    April 2020 Hatch-A-Long! All are welcome!

One of the original showed no development at 2nd candling and the other didn’t make it out of the shell. Seems it rolled toward the water under the grate and couldn’t get air. I feel successful with...

    High Humdity ?

    I do realize we put too much water. I am curious is there is anything I can do to remedy that? I don't see how I can easily remove the water without causing a disruption to the eggs. Any ideas?

    High Humdity ?

    I have a Hova Bator incubator set up in my classroom with 22 eggs. Yesterday was day 10. I realized that we may have put too much water at the last water check and the incubator was reading 85% humidity today as well as yesterday afternoon. We candled yesterday and my air cells are the same...

    The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

    I would like to participate but want to know if I can set ends the Friday or Thursday March 3rd or 4th. I am a teacher and would like the eggs to hatch during the school week. I successfully hatched chickens in my class last year, I think this may be a fun contest for my class to be a part of.

    Classroom Incubating Project - HELP!

    This is very interesting! I also buy a lot of fruit and didn't think of making my own vinegar. Currently I can fruits and jams and make my own marinades but have never attempted this. Thanks for the idea! We usually just toss fruit pieces into the compost bin or let our chickens snack on them.
