That makes sense. Thank you so much. He does seem to be doing better. I have him separated from the rest. He is very active otherwise. I will update and let you know. Thanks again!

I just hatched 5 Speckled Sussex chicks. 4 had no problems and are fine. 5th had a hard time hatching. Nearly two days. I finally opened the head end of the egg but only because I could see the chick through the large pip hole and noticed it was struggling to breath. It did end up hatching, but...

Excellent! Good luck with them. We an keep each other updated. You think you got the wrong colors? How could you tell? (If you don't mind me asking.)

I've also switched to an LED so we'll see. The last eggs remained clear except for the yolk. They didn't even start. I ended up making a candling box that works very well. Thank you for your comment! Dan

Got the new ones in. Let them rest overnight and now have them in the incubator. Will let you know how these go. Dan

Thanks so much. I think all of these are duds. None of them were fertile. I contacted the seller, and apparently I'm not the first to say this. She is shipping me more eggs. Thank you for your reply!

Thank you. I'll try again this evening. I ordered them off-line, so hoping at least some of them are good. They were decently packed. Thanks again. I'll update if/when I see something.

I'm 13 days in on 12 Guinea eggs. I candled on day 11, but didn't see much going on. I did see some air cells developing in several of the eggs, and the yolk floating around, but being Guinea's they are harder to candle. When should I see something starting to happen in there? I'm using a still...

Thank you so much! I tried to compare it to pics of different chicks. After awhile they all started looking the same. lol Again...Thank you. Dan

I have 19 birds. Recently bought three chicks from a hardware store. Straight run, mixed batch. Supplier told the store that they would include one "rare breed" chick in the batch, and I ended up with it. Not a great pic, but beautiful little chick. Clean legged. Anyone have any ideas about what...

Good morning everyone! Well, happy to say that the little guy was up and running around when I checked them this morning. But on a sad note, the little one that came too early didn't make it. I know I'm going to lose chicks, but it still sux. We gave it a good try. I thought I had a really...

OK Pfields. One of the two has since fully hatched. Pretty little thing. The other is still doing nothing although I can see him moving in the shell. I'll give him till tomorrow afternoon, and then I'm going to slowly chip some shell away for a fresh zip and see what he does. Thank you so much...

Thank you. I'm so glad I found such an amazing resource in all you guys. Thanks again. Dan

Can I be a pain and ask one more question please? My last two eggs pipped yesterday morning. I can see the chicks moving about and hear them peep on occasion, but there has been no further attempts at hatching. I know it can take over 24 hours sometimes. My question is, how long should I wait...

Will do. Thank you!

My thanks. I thought the poor little thing was a goner. Into a cup he goes! Will keep you posted. Again...thank you. Dan

Hello everyone! Quick question. New to hatching here, but have tried to read up on things before I started. Got a clutch of 15 mixed breed eggs on-line. 3 never started. Bacteria got 1. The rest have been doing ok. Started pipping and hatching yesterday and today. (Today...
