    Damaged egg, Incubator

    I'm just starting a batch of 33 eggs in my incubator and I have one that looks like had another egg dropped to heavy on it when was collected and dented/cracked the shell. Its not leaking or anything so my question is can I trust it and put in incubator too ?

    Lockdown day !

    One more thing. I've kept the temp at 99. Now that its lock down time I'm suppose to lower it slightly correct ?

    Snake attack caught on camera !

    I'm not sure if was a rattlesnake because of the size and pattern on the snake or if was just a large chicken snake. Both very common in my area and I've already killed 2 large chicken snakes in my yard before this one this year.

    Snake attack caught on camera !

    I noticed I kept having eggs that hens were sitting on disappearing. So I finally got the smart idea to put my cheap game trail camera in the coop and low n behold it actually caught some action. The hen in the pictures survived and is still alive but the eggs she was sitting on were due to...

    Egg shell thin as paper ?

    For a couple weeks I had a giant snake problem and finally killed it I think. I filled my boxes up with golf balls, took it a week but it finally ate some and hasn't been back. But I think the snake has scared my hens from using the coop because one was attacked while sitting on some eggs that...

    Egg shell thin as paper ?

    I was walking around my yard today hunting eggs since my hens have decided to lay them in the bushes now. Anyways, one of the eggs I found right away I could tell looked odd. I picked it up and my thumb nearly went right through it. The shell was so thin and flexible I barely could hold it in my...

    Collecting fertile Eggs???

    Explain your incubation process then we can go from there. BUT eggs aren't always fertile even with a rooster. Storing them at room temp until you get enough is safe as long as they don't get to cold or to hot. I think I wanna say I read around 75 degrees is a safe zone? Hopefully someone can...

    60% humidity but not high enough

    I'm so relieved lol. Thanks for the quick response! I went to remove the water and there was barely any in the tray. So now how do I lower the humidity when my incubator is dry? I opened my air vents hoping that will help.

    60% humidity but not high enough

    I was candling from bottom (small end) is that wrong ? I live in Southwest Arkansas. A few of the eggs seem pretty porous. I can see what I think are holes when I candle.

    First time hatching and Murphy's Law seems to be in full effect

    The way I've checked mine is take a small cap from coke or water bottle and fill it with salt. Then add a few drops of water to the salt without dissolving it and place the cap full of salt and hygrometer in a ziplock bag and leave for about 6 hours. Should reach a even 75% if it does not you...
