    Hatching process, after Pip?

    I know this is an old post but I was just reading through and I completely agree with you about that assisting chick post :caf. Everyone refers to that for any questions about assisting, but it does make you feel like you WILL most likely kill your chick if you help! And doesn't offer clear...

    To incubate horizontally or vertically?

    This is the incubator I'm using btw. I'm still undecided about using the turner or not because while it is only barely rocking them (20° one way, than upright) I thought it's better than laying them on the bottom and leaving them overnight unmoved? Wouldn't the slight rocking be better than...

    To incubate horizontally or vertically?

    Thanks @theuglychick. Yeh I'm not 100% certain what the temperature was at half the time since I kept getting 3 different readings. My bator would say 37°C (sorry not sure what that is in Fahrenheit), 1 thermometer would say 39°C and another would say 36°C!!! Very confusing. So I just had to go...

    To incubate horizontally or vertically?

    Hi everyone, Just cleaned out the incubator after a 100% fail on 13 silkie eggs . So devastated since 11 of them were developing, even right up to day 21! On inspection it seems the last 4 that survived were all malpositioned. And I read one of the reasons can be caused by insufficient...
