    Will My Cracked Egg Still Hatch?

    I would be inclined to leave it with the hen. I have used candle wax on cracks and had some success. I also had a couple eggs go bad but with dark shells, I had difficulty knowing it so I left them. It wasn’t until all others hatched and I finally gave up and cracked these open that I found they...

    pipping but not hatching, need the experts help

    It’s a great thread! I love all the info. I have assisted one so far. She made a side door and broke she’ll but only small beak hole in membrane and it was drying and you could see her try to push through it but it wouldn’t tear. Another egg hatched and shot up humidity so I took advantage of...

    pipping but not hatching, need the experts help

    I have 1 external pip. Nice starter hole but little progress in 24 hours. Only day 20. Though my previous 3 hatches arrived early. For now, my plan is to be patient. Tomorrow is day 21. It seems trying to assist this first egg would put all the other eggs at risk. I am confused about extreme...

    Infertile Hen

    I suppose so. I mentioned that to my friend.and she was surprised that it could be the case. With only 4 hens total, and knowing he fertilized her eggs last year, I guess I’m surprised, too. But It would certainly explain it. She didn’t say she paid enough notice to know if their love affair...

    I have been wanting to get an incubator but which one???

    Yes! I dry hatch meaning I do not add water until internal pip and then I add water to 65%. 100% hatch on local eggs ( not shipped). Full view makes it fun to interact with the babies without opening until everyone is safely out of their shell. Can auto turn... I don’t recall if I paid...

    Question about crop

    Hi There, I had a rooster that seemed to have sour crop. Sadly, he didn't pull through. However, I do have a question that could possibly assist me in the future and perhaps help others. Does a normal crop have pea like bumps or nodules or structures in it? When massaging his crop, I could...

    One of my chickens got eaten...

    I'm so sorry for your loss. It's a rotten feeling that we've failed them. I've lost a few to predators, too. Did it happen during the day or the night? I'm sorry to tell you that whatever got your chicken will likely return for more. I used to free range all of my chickens and it was...

    I am certainly far from an expert. Hopefully someone else will chime in. First perhaps, what does her crop feel like?
