    Are winter chicken eggs viable to incubate

    I have read to let refrigerated eggs warm up to room temperature before putting in incubator.

    Can eggs hatch without being turned?

    I did find another thread, I think it was turkeys, that someone had an incubator that malfunctioned and the eggs were not turned for several days.. not sure what the outcome was. I would rather all the chicks be dead than a suffering chick! But I will be watching them close to see if they need...

    Can eggs hatch without being turned?

    Not really. About 4 weeks ago we had a stray dog, possibly 2, break into our pen and killed all chickens, but one hen. After about a week, my husband suggested I try to hatch some of the eggs we had left on the counter. I knew most eggs were fresh, but I think one was refrigerated. Anyway, I...

    Can eggs hatch without being turned?

    Thank you for your reply. I have a video, not a very good one, but I thought I saw movement. Thread doesn’t give me option to upload a video it seems.. but the one I thought I saw movement in are the pics that you think the chick could be alive. I guess I’ll wait and see. The eggs are turning...

    Can eggs hatch without being turned?

    I feel so dumb! It has been a long time since I have set up my brinsea advanced mini. I had the egg tray placed upside down in the incubator, so it was not turning the eggs! I was not certain any of the eggs would hatch from the start, but at least two eggs were fertile. But then they didn’t...

    Sex linked Maurans??

    Thank you! More helpful information! I had looked up a pick of a black Australorp hen, before posting this thread, and had thought she looks just like an Australorp. Do Australorps have feathers on their feet…? 🤔

    Sex linked Maurans??

    Thank you! So, it could be that I DO have sex-linked maurans… I just hope they lay the dark brown eggs! That is what I was aiming for, when I purchased (what I hope are) maurans! 😄

    Sex linked Maurans??

    Thank you, I didn’t know that! That IS interesting. I thought that I was most certainly getting a rooster, because of the dot on his head as a chick. I am glad he turned out to be a roo! He is just starting to crow and talk to the girls! 🤗

    Sex linked Maurans??

    Hello! I bought several chicks from local farm store. Was told the black chicks with feathered legs were maurans. One of the black chicks had a yellow spot on his head, so I thought that may be a sex-linked rooster… I needed a rooster, so snatched him up. He was the only black chick with a dot...

    Day 22 No internal pip

    Have Brinsea advanced mini with 3 eggs that had live embryos. It is day 22. 2 eggs still show movement when I quickly candled them. I thought they were dead.. I do not see an internal pip, though. I filled both water pots 2 days before hatch, as instructions said. Humidity has risen to 77%...

    Chick Mouth Breathing, Need help!

    Hello, I have a baby chick that is mouth breathing. He stretches his beak open wide sometimes and shakes his head every now and then. He eats and drinks small amounts and does not seem to be thriving as all the other chicks are. Chicks were purchased on April 6th, hatch date was 3rd. I...

    Scaly Leg Mites - Best tried and true treatment..?

    Thank you! I have feather legged chickens and thought the vaseline would make the feathers sticky and make dirt stick to them. May give it a try on some of my large bare legged hens!

    Scaly Leg Mites - Best tried and true treatment..?

    Help! Was looking at other threads about scaly leg mites! There are so many ways to treat! I am looking for the best solution! I have sprayed with WD40 - works but worry about toxicity. I've dipped legs in cooking oil and that was a big mess, but it worked.. I am now trying canola cooking...
